911 Call Released From Home Invasion ShootingClick - boom.
[...]
It happened in Cushing, about 50 miles west of Tulsa in Lincoln County. Police say the female homeowner was awakened by her barking dog and called 911. While she was on the phone with dispatchers, police say she warned the intruder that she had a rifle.
Authorities say the intruder, identified as Billy Dean Riley, ignored the woman's warning and threw a chair through the window. That's when the woman opened fire.

911 - "Okay , (unintelligible) is advising that you can defend your property if you need to."
RESIDENT - "Alright he's at the garage."
911 - "He's at the garage? Is it attached to your house?"
RESIDENT - "Nope, he's at the patio door again."
911 - "I can hear him banging again."
RESIDENT - "I don't want to have to kill this man, but i'll kill him graveyard dead ma'am."
911 - "I understand."
RESIDENT - "Alright."
RESIDENT - Oh crap he's breaking in. he's breaking in now, he's breaking in now. He's breaking the window, i'm going to kill him. He's walking back and forth on the porch. He looks to be an older man, I don't want to kill him. He's kicking the door please hurry. He's going to make it in please hurry ma'am. I think he's drunk . He doesn't know where his pickup's at. God I don't want to kill this man."
RESIDENT - "I cant keep this gun and keep on the phone darling, it's a big shotgun, it will break my arm. As soon as you tell me they're here im taking the safety, uh.. I'm putting the safety back on this sucker."

Too bad this asshole made it so this woman has to live the rest of her life knowing she killed someone. But at the same time, this asshole deserved what he got.
Good thing this wasn't somewhere like say, Chicago or D.C. The woman probably would be dead instead.

What a horrible situation.
She did everything she could to avoid that ending.
Good for her, though, being able to protect herself.
Exactly.
She made the right choice.
This is why I don't have a gun. She said she'd do it then started questioning herself when it came down to it.
Me, I'd end up accidentally shooting my upstairs neighbors for their incessant need to run back and forth three times an hour for 5 hours a night. No cop with upstairs neighbors would blame me, but they'd still book me.
So you would rather the dude just come in the house and ...
nope, I would rather she start with "if he comes closer I'll shoot" then not have a window get broken in and have to decide between the phone and the gun after the dispatcher said it was understood the shot fired would be in self defense.
This is assuming the gun is in the house to protect from this very thing - no flip flopping, you are prepared for this by having the fire power handy, and in hand!!! JUST DO IT.
