Saturday morning feel good story
Both AW1Ed and Chief Tango sent us our feel good story this morning from Washington State;
Edmonds police say the woman was awakened around 3:15 a.m Thursday by the sound of someone pounding at their front door. She called 911 then grabbed her gun and went by the front door as the intruder began to force his way inside.
“They thought they knew who was pounding on the door. That’s why they opened it,” said Sgt. Bob Barker with the Edmonds Police Department. “When it wasn’t who they thought, they tried to push him out. It didn’t work.”
The woman struggled with the intruder but, realizing she wasn’t going to be able to hold him back much longer, fired a shot at his stomach, police said. The intruder was not armed.
Officers arrived moments later to find the wounded intruder, identified by family members as 22-year-old Nelson Petrone, still at the front of the house in the 16400 block of 75th Place W.
Petrone was taken into custody then driven to Harborview Medical Center where he’s still being treated for the wound. No one else was hurt.

Well, I do wonder just why Mr. Petrone was pounding on that door at that time of night.
But this is why I always lock the storm door, you see, especially if I have to grab a large cat and open the door after midnight.
Ex-PH2…Hold cat, shake vigorously, open door, throw cat in person’s face and then…go from there. 😀
