A Gwinnett County woman shot and killed a home invasion suspect Wednesday morning after the knife-wielding intruder attacked her in the shower, police said.

The incident happened about 6:30 a.m. at a home in the 2800 block of East Mount Tabor Circle.

Gwinnett police Cpl. Edwin Ritter told the AJC that the woman, who is in her late 40s or early 50s, was getting out of the shower when the intruder, who she did not know, turned out the lights and attacked her.

She fell back into the shower, injuring her back, and attempted to fight the man off with the shower rod, Ritter said.

"She was telling him that she has money and please don’t hurt her," Ritter said. "He forced her into her bedroom,".....

"...She responded to the deadly threat with deadly force..." Good for her.

Cpl. Edwin Ritter said the woman would not likely be charged in the incident. Wow....because there is a chance she might be guilty of what, exactly? Would love to see this played out in the Commiewealth.

Standard thing. Even here in FL where there is a right to stand your ground, they will get ALL the facts in before saying if the person would be charged or not. A recent case is where a Pharmacist tried to cite the stand your ground as defense, but the facts came to light the guy was going to act as judge, jury and executioner on the perp. If he just let the badguy bleed out on the floor instead of going back for another gun and finish him off he wouldn't be in jail.

There are a few other incidents down here where guys started to run their mouths, start the fight, pull out a gun and try and claim self defense when they couldn't back up their words.

Would you still say good shoot IF the girl turned out to be the actual bad guy and the guy shot was trying to defend himself? Yes, unlikely but crooks are known to lie, cheat steal etc.

In the Commiewealth kiss your LTC good-bye until you spend a boatload of cash to get back.

Great - she saved the taxpayers a lot of money!

It's cases like this one, that are great examples why "you don't need a gun, just call 911" is not working...even Marcia should get that.
The only reason this woman got not killed or raped is a GUN!

On a side note - this shows how important it is to have your handgun ready LOADED with a round in the chamber!
 
This Incident Cited As Clubs/Ranges See More Women...

More women are entering metro gun ranges to learn how to defend themselves in case of an attack.

Now, the numbers at the Sandy Springs Gun Club and Range have gone up even more since a Duluth woman killed an intruder who attacked her in her home this week.

Robyn Marzullo is part owner of the gun club, and she told Young, “Seeing the story on the news, I was so proud that a woman knew how to operate a firearm and she was able to protect herself.”

Women run, and are part owners of, the range and they go out of their way to make women feel comfortable according to those using the range.

Across the metro area, Thursday night is ladies night at many ranges, and those ranges said more calls have been coming in from women wanting to learn how to use and carry a firearm.....
