ALABAMA WOMAN SHOOTS HOME INTRUDER TO PROTECT HERSELF AND HER AX- AND KNIFE-WIELDING DAUGHTERS
Excerpt:
An Alabama woman said she was forced to shoot an intruder that broke into her home this week in order to protect herself and her daughters.
Martha Lewis of Dora, Ala. told WVTM-TV it was about 3 a.m. Tuesday morning when she heard a loud noise, which turned out to be someone kicking in her door. Lewis said she called the police and grabbed her gun, then went to her daughters’ room and told them each to get something to defend themselves with. She said one grabbed an ax and one got a butcher knife.
They were at the top of the stairs when they saw a man standing there at the bottom.
“I knew when he stepped on the landing that I would have to shoot him,” Lewis told the station. “He starts like coming up the stairs and he said, ‘would you shoot me?’ And I said ‘I don’t want to have to but I will.'”
Ignoring her warnings, the man kept coming – and that’s when Lewis said she fired.

Isn’t it something that every time someone defends themselves against a home invading piece of garbage, there is always an obligatory line in the news reporting stating that “charges are not expected to be filed against the homeowner” …as if anyone expected they might be.
Hence why we not only have guns but practice with them often. Zombies, goblins or other predators are simply target practice around our neck of the woods.

It does seem she neglected to double-tap, however. The troll survived.
