McCullough said it appears that the man may have taken his own life. He said an AK-47 assault rifle was found inside the truck with him.

Police said they originally thought the case may have been a burglary attempt but now are looking into other motives.

Glen Arm resident Mike Lance said a neighbor told him what she witnessed.

"She saw a pickup truck and a guy got out in camouflage gear and a mask. She saw him walking towards there," he said.....

I can't wait for the "of course he couldn't hit anything, he had an AK" comments

That scene must have been pretty insane. Wow. Good on her for surviving through sound personal defense.

She must have used an AR-15 pistol.

He probably forgot his lifejacket...

Never bring an AK-47 to a handgun fight???

Doesn't sound like your typical burglary to me.

"of course he couldn't hit anything, he had an AK!"

You happy?! Heh.

Pretty impressive that she kept her head about her, and he took the proper way out.

I agree that she sure beat the odds, and must have been a good shot and/or pretty focused, or both .

Sounds more like a domestic or a case of mistaken target.

Nah, clearly he was doing it wrong. Props to her for taking him down.

Maryland is as F*ck up as MA when it comes to gun laws. I won't be surprised if she's charged with something.
I was born in MD, and always thought I would retire there.... but not now.

but according to anti gun people AK-47 and super Evil/communist looking guns are way more dangerous than anything out there?

this just proves that its not what gun or caliber you are using, but the shot placement. And that an assault weapon ban is pointless.

a .22LR in between the eyes is better than 7.62 all over the floor and walls.

I think he was using wolf, and she shot at him from the doorway that was smaller than a twin size mattress, thats why his bullets never connected.

Listen...there is nothing wrong with the AK-47. I mean after all...the guy managed to shoot himself with the thing.

My thoughts exactly.

Better yet, never bring poor performance with an AK-47 in an assault on a woman to an NES thread!

Though the man killed in the incident apparently died of gunshot wounds, Maryland’s State Medical Examiner office will perform an autopsy to officially determine the cause of death, McCullough said.

Save the taxpayers some money, the cause of death is "Lead Poisoning".
