If there is such a thing as a good shoot, it is really just one of the least bad outcomes, this is one of them:
An Illinois mother shot and killed a man accused of breaking into her home at night, police say.
The break-in happened at about 10:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, the Joliet Police Department said in a news release.
According to police, the woman heard what sounded like someone forcing their way into her home, so she hid in an upstairs bedroom closet with her baby, and armed herself with a gun.
When the man went into the bedroom, she opened fire, hitting him in the head, police said.
Officers arrived to find the man “unresponsive,” and he was confirmed dead at the scene, according to the department.
The man was wearing gloves and had a screwdriver, police said, adding that there were “signs of forced entry.” The woman told police she didn’t know the man.
Even with the early retirement, someone made a very poor career choice that night.
Mr. Huffman:
Don’t you know that this guy was simply a misunderstood “victim of gun violence”?

My sympathies lie with the woman who was forced by this human-shaped piece of garbage to take its life. I can only hope that, having prepared herself with a firearm, she was also prepared for the emotional aftermath.
Wow. A memorial for the home invasion perpetrator.
