Goochland County Sheriff's Office

The FBI is now investigating after a woman shot a New Zealand man outside her Goochland County home Friday afternoon.
Troy Skinner, 25, flew to Virginia to meet the woman's teenage daughter after the two chatted online using Discord, a service popular among gamers, the Goochland County Sheriff said.
The 14-year-old girl's mother shot Skinner when he attempted to break into the family's home in the Holland Hills community, the sheriff said.
"He was not invited here, he was not expected here, he had been told in the past that the daughter no longer wished to communicate with him," Goochland Sheriff Jim Agnew said.
The violent encounter took place Friday when the mother was home with her two daughters.
They heard Skinner banging on the door with a brick, the sheriff said.
When the mother called her husband, he told her to grab a gun.
When Skinner threw a landscaping stone through the glass door, the teenage girl's mother fired twice, hitting Skinner once in the neck.
He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive the shooting.

"This was not random, not spontaneous, this was something very planned," Sheriff Agnew said.
He was carrying a knife, duct tape, and pepper spray -- that he purchased at the Short Pump Walmart -- when he arrived at the family's home.
“Then you hear about duct tape, knife and are like what the hell is this?” said Skinner’s friend. “He’d been on some medication had psychiatrists visiting his flat to discuss certain things apparently there were some antipsychotics so this sounds like a mental break of some description” he added.

Stalking scum. He couldn’t have her, so he was going to rape and kill her.
Sick of sympathy for such people. They should be executed.
Citizens have guns in New Zealand?
When the mother called her husband, he told her to grab a gun.
When Skinner threw a landscaping stone through the glass door, the teenage girl's mother fired twice, hitting Skinner once in the neck.

This particular New Zealander seems to have been unfamiliar with both the attitudes of Texan women and our Second Amendment.
Now he will get first hand acquaintance with how would-be molesters are viewed by the Texas inmate population.
I hope it was worth the trip.
Agree.
This woman saved her daughter’s life.
Good thing she had a gun. Right?
Sorry, Virginia not Texas...
“He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive the shooting.”
Not quite a happy ending, but close.
You could use a bigger caliber but all in all good shootin Mom.

I’m not sure how the attitudes of Texan women are relevant to an armed self defense incident in VIRGINIA. Furthermore, I doubt this dirtbag will meet many Texan inmates in a VIRGINIA state prison.
Mother did what Mothers are supposed to do.
PROTECT their children.
The only question here is when to ship his arse back to New Zealand AFTER he pays fines and hospital bills...DON’T stick US taxpayers with his bills etc...
If it was Texas, he'd have been fed to the coyotes.
Ship him exactly half-way back to New Zealand, and drop him off there.
He can swim.
Right?
PROTECT their children.
Unlike the mothers of the illegal alien kiddies who let their children get raped and beaten .
Good Mom!
Like Australia, no.
Probably not, but we've got lots of ready, willing, eligible and eager inmates named Pablo.
Troy had better not drop the soap!
Since it's Virginia, she might be fed to the coyotes... or to the Red Hen patrons.
Bagster
No.
But he did bring a knife to a gunfight in Virginia.
That wasn’t the banging he expected.
