Woman fends off home intruder
By LeVon Whittaker
ELKHART, Indiana (WBND) — The incident took place just a few days ago, in the middle of the night, when the burglar caught the homeowner off-guard.Carla Stanfill is recalling where she was when the unthinkable happened on early morning hours of August 28th.
Around 2:30 a.m. Stanfill tells me she was letting her dog outside to use the bathroom, but little did she know, someone was out there.
“I closed the door and then there was a handprint on my window and I thought it was my husband because he wasn’t home at the time. And so when I went to go to the door to open it, a man barged in and grabbed me by my face and slammed me against the wall,” said the victim Carla Stanfill.
She says it happened fast.
It started with the burglar pushing her down in the hallway.
Then she says he pinned her to the ground near the washer and dyer and that’s when Carla feared the worst.
“He laid his whole body on top of me and he started, that’s when he started talking to me telling me he was hungry and he just wanted some food so I started to relax,” said Carla.
Although relaxed, Carla saw it as a moment to turn the tables and regain control.
That’s when she reached for one of her husbands guns to protect herself.
“I just turned around and put the gun in his face and told him I would kill him. I wanted him out of my house,” said Carla.

Police kill alleged carjacker outside Milwaukee area Walmart
FRANKLIN, Wis. (AP) — Police shot and killed a man outside a Walmart Friday in suburban Wisconsin after he allegedly carjacked two vehicles and kidnapped one of the drivers.
Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas told reporters during a news conference that investigators are still trying to put together exactly what happened. He said it appears the suspect carjacked a vehicle sometime before 8 a.m. He forced the driver to take him to a Walmart in Milwaukee, where they may have “obtained items,” the sheriff said.
They then went to a service station. The driver went inside and told the attendant to call the police. The carjacker and the driver then left and went to a Walmart in Franklin. The driver somehow managed to tell a clerk to call the police, the sheriff said.
Officers received a call of an active shooter at the Walmart, Lucas said. Officers from multiple agencies swarmed the scene. The suspect fled in the vehicle but crashed it as police gave chase.
The suspect immediately hijacked another vehicle and but crashed that one as well. He jumped out of the wreckage with a gun and officers opened fire, killing him, the sheriff said. Franklin Police Chief Rick Oliva said during the news conference that there were “indications” the suspect pointed his weapon at officers.

In the first story the women should have at least held him a gunpoint until the police arrive. The next time he attacks he might want more than just food.
The news link indicates the perp was arrested as does the score below the story. Some folks are inept to the point it is better just to get away form the perp than to try and hold them and allow the perp to turn the situation around.
Given that the story is that they are now going to move rather than getting training and making sure she can react or prepare better for an encounter indicates to me they are not reliable in self protection capacity.
If Mrs Wifey hada just went ahead and pulled the trigger, we’d of had a trifecta of DRTs this morning to put a grin on WW’s face.
Had curry combed the inherwebz off and on all day searching for FGS with no joy forthcoming. Was just about to give up and call it a day late in the evening when these 3 popped up on the news feeds. Just goes to show, you should never give up.
Gurkhas, so badass that Chuck Norris politely calls them, Sir. Beware the fight in the little dog.
“Obtained items”. Is that the new Orwellian PC for shoplifted?
Actually I believe that the term “redistributed goods” is the new Orwellian term for shoplifting… JMO
