I am assuming this was covered on this forum when it happened, but I could not find the thread. It happened January 25, 2013.
A mom home alone with her child at night in Magnolia, was robbed by three illegal aliens (undocumented immigrants). She was interviewed on the Michael Berry show this morning and it was very interesting hearing the details for the first time from the victim.
Her,what not to do, what to do, was really compelling.
After hearing the glass break, she covered her small child under the covers in his bed and told him not to move. She then went looking for the pistol. It was in one of three places, but she did not know which, she had checked two of the places and had not found it.
At this point she was confronted by the three men, one with a knife, one with a gun and one with a brand new unopened roll of duct tape.
They demanded money, she said that they did not have much, and suggested the TV. They wanted more, so she said that she had some money hidden in the bedroom. Going in the bedroom with the three men, she realized she had one chance to survive this because that was the third place the gun could be. Their dogs provided a necessary distraction and she found the gun and shot the one with the knife. (insert knife to gunfight remark) The man with the gun fled, the wounded man with the knife fled, the man with the duct tape ran into another bedroom and hid in her husbands closet, sitting on top of his loaded shotgun on the floor.
She went in there but did not shoot at him and he then bolted and tried and succeeded in taking the gun from her, punching her in the eye in the process. He fled with the gun and like any momma with her child in danger, she chased him out of the house, attempting to probably kill him with her bare hands.
It was fascinating to hear her story. The good the bad, and the just plain lucky.
