Every Burglar's Worst Nightmare
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. (AP) — A 53-year-old woman who fired nine shots with two handguns to ward off an intruder said she tried to avoid hitting her furniture.
"Priorities, right?" said Carolyn Lisle of Rancho Cordova. "It was one of those nights. I have a few holes in my glass out front."
The Sacramento County sheriff's department said William Kriske, a 47-year-old parolee, was treated for a gunshot wound to the arm, then jailed on suspicion of burglary and resisting arrest after he crashed through Lisle's sliding glass door Thursday evening.
Lisle's three guests fled the home, but she took action, opening fire with a .357 caliber revolver.
"He was like a mosquito hitting the window. Every time he turned around, poweee," she told the Sacramento Bee.
She emptied her first handgun as the intruder crashed through another window to escape, then retrieved a second revolver as he broke into her garage.
"I like to be prepared," she said.
She opened fire again as the intruder fled the garage and approached the house, wounding him.
Sacramento County Sheriff's Sgt. Lou Fatur said Lisle, a retired state worker who once worked as a correctional officer, won't be charged for defending herself with properly registered firearms.
The intruder tried to steal a motorcycle from a home across the street, but was chased off by neighbors who also had armed themselves to come to Lisle's aid.
As the burglar fled, one of the men yelled, "And that's just our womenfolk," Lisle said.
A California Highway Patrol officer stopped Kriske nearby, and he was arrested by sheriff's deputies.
"I don't think he'll be back," Lisle said.

Wow.
she empties a revolver at him. He dives out a window but then tries to break into her garage. How stupid is this guy? Is this kind of thing common in the states?

One bullet in the arm usually doesn't stop a crack-head.

And I guarantee this will very quickly be made into a Sunday night "Women in Distress!" movie. Soon after to be run repeatedly follow ups on the "Life-women in distress-time" cable channel.

LOL! Great find Sabre. I love the comment "And that's just our womenfolk" :D

She should have opened her eyes while firing, no need to go for a second weapon.

The area is refered to as "rancho cambodia" by people around here..

Umm, doesn't anyone here find it worrying that she fired 9 shots, one of which hit, the other 8 appear to have gone 'out' her front window?
Amusing as it is, its lucky some neighbours kid didn't end up with a stray round between the eyes.

Heh, yeah or one of the guests.
Well at least the motorcycle didn't get stolen (comment at a 5-year old kid's buryal.)
