Armed homeowner stops violent home invader (CA)
Self Defense Examiner ^ | 22 February, 2010 | Eric Puryear

A San Bernardino County, California man reportedly used his gun to stop a woman who was using a brick to break in to his home.

Police say that the home invading woman used a brick to break out a window at the man's home, prompting him to call the police. The homeowner also reportedly warned the home invader that he had a gun. Undeterred, the home invader reportedly stuck her head through the window, causing the homeowner to fear for his safety and the safety of his family, police say. The homeowner reportedly fired one shot in self defense, striking the home invader and ending the attack. The suspect, reportedly identified as 33 year old Jennifer London, was treated at a local hospital for a gunshot wound and then held on $125,000 bail, according to police.

Nice to read - not the part about the brick, though.

Truly the loonies are out in force it seems.

Everyone, stay PRAYED-UP!

I’m not sure I’d shoot a broad who broke my front window and stuck her head in. To be fair, I wasn’t there.....maybe she looked like whoopi goldberg? That would put me in fear of my life.

stop a woman who was using a brick to break in to his home.

As Rudyard Kipling said (in so many words):
In this species, the female is deadlier than the male.

Might I add:
Unless the male homeowner has a gun and doesn’t flinch from using it.

One who either doesn’t believe it, or is daring the homeowner to use it.

You are assuming that he could tell that it was a "she". But I agree. I would probably wait until more than just the head was coming in the window... then it would be "game on".

Yep, apply the "Castle Doctrine" and remove the threat, permanently.
