From Litchfield Park, AZ

Authorities say a woman shot a man who was trying to break into her home through the front door on Thursday night.  According to Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, a woman called 911 just before 11 p.m. saying there was a suspicious vehicle in the driveway of her home near 127th Avenue and Camelback Road.  The woman told the 911 operator she didn’t know the man who was inside the car and the man walked up to her front door and tried to enter her home.

After warning the man that she was armed, MCSO says the woman shot him through the front door after he kept trying to enter the home.  When deputies arrived at the home, they found the man on the door step suffering from a gunshot wound.  The man was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries where he remains in critical condition.

From Memphis, TN

Some would-be criminals picked the wrong home to try to break into and found an East Memphis woman was locked, loaded and ready.  As Whitney Lyne tried to wind down for bed on Thursday, some bad guys had other plans.  “As soon as that window burst, I’m running right at her and I am jamming that gun through the door at her,” Lyne said.  “Then I heard a boom and things went silent, and thought she had burst in through the wood door at front and it just got quiet.”

The woman was trying to come in through the front door. At that point, Lyne’s two dogs lost it.  And that’s when she swallowed her fears and grabbed the shotgun her husband told her to use for protection.  Now charging for the side door, where the woman had broken the glass and ready to come in, Lyne and the shotgun stopped the woman dead in her tracks.

“She just nonchalantly just stopped and slowly put her hand up, just walked to her car,” Lyne said. “The guy looked at her, put his hands in the air, backed up and just sped off and they were gone.”

“…shot him through the door.” (Arizona)

Doesn’t say whether the door was wood or had glass panels, but at least she aimed well.

The other two: why do people park in your driveway and then try to break in? That woman did well to scare off those two morons, but she could have taken a moment to put holes in the tires of the car, too. At least she’s okay.

The Memphis reporter’s writing style is unique.

Yeah, that’s it. Unique.
