Police say a man armed with a hammer and a knife forced his way into a Gulfport home where two women, both protected by court orders against him, were staying. After one woman was injured and the pair barricaded themselves, the uninjured woman used a firearm to fatally shoot the intruder.
GULFPORT, MS (3-minute read) — Authorities in Gulfport, Mississippi say an early morning home invasion turned deadly when a woman opened fire on an intruder who had already been ordered by a court to stay away. The man, identified by the Harrison County Coroner as 29 year old Dangelo Murphy, reportedly entered the residence around 7 a.m. while carrying a hammer and a knife.

Inside the home were two women who both had active protection orders against Murphy. According to officials, he confronted them after forcing his way in. During the encounter, one woman received a knife injury. Despite the chaos and fear inside that home, both women managed to get away from him long enough to barricade themselves in another room.

Once behind the barricaded door, the uninjured woman was able to reach a firearm kept inside the home. As Murphy continued to pose a threat, she fired at him, striking him and ending the attack. When responding officers arrived after reports of a break in, Murphy was found fatally wounded.

Because you can go further with a protective order and a gun, than with a protective order alone.
Apologies to Al Capone
