When a DeKalb County woman returned home early Tuesday to find two teenagers in her home, she knew she needed to protect herself.

She grabbed her gun.

The woman, who asked not to be identified, told Channel 2 Action News she walked into her Tucker home as one teen ran out the back door and the other tackled her to the ground.

“They were skipping school today,” Capt. Stephen Fore said.

Oh! That explains it! They were just lookin' fer a place to chill and avoid the truant officer, like Spanky and Alfalfa, and she goes all Rambo on them!

It just goes to show that no good can come of truancy laws.

She either needs more time at the Falcons training camp ( since she was tackled)
or more time on the "range" to shoot straighter !!

Exactly so !
Given the snow and cold, they could have been employed shoveling snow
But no one was willing to pay them $10.10 per hour !!

Note to those who come home at lunchtime, or middle of the day, outside the normal daily routine: my neighbor came home in the middle of the day to unexpectedly find a “teen” ransacking her home. Said “teen,” being none-too-bright, panicked, and decided to turn a nickel/dime B/E into a potential murder rap. My neighbor, in possession of a CHL and a .38 snubby, dropped the perp dead in the foyer. One shot. Word spread fast. “Truancy” ceased to be a problem in our school district.

The woman fired several shots toward the teens, but no one was injured

Dang - I was hoping for a happy ending.

Range time and/or purchase of a Laserlyte Universal Trainer makes for happy endings.

So poorly written.

We learned that one of the perps tackled her and then the two of them fell out of the door together. Next sentence has her firing at the two intruders! Okay....

Darn. That’s what I get for going to get my second cup of coffee.

You beat me to it...

(I’ll go ahead and toss in the “aspiring rap singers” “working hard to turn their lives around”.)

Teens in DeKalb county have about a 90% chance of being Amish. :-)

No Captain Dumbass, They were breaking and entering today! I bet they get less punishment than a kid who brings a toy gun to school.
