From Foxnews-
A Georgia mother shot an ex-convict six times to protect her and her children after he apparently forced his way into the family’s home.
The mom heard knocks on her front door Friday and assumed it was just a solicitor, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
She told her 9-year-old twins not to answer the door and, when the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at his job and he told her to gather the children and hide.
By that time, according to the paper, the intruder had used a crowbar to forcibly enter the home, and made his way to the home office.
“He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,” Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The woman fired six bullets, five of which hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area, Chapman said. But Slater, who has arrests dating to 2008 and was released from jail in August, was still conscious.
“The guy’s face down, crying,” the sheriff said. The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.
“I’m dying. Help me,” he told them, according to Chapman.
The Guy didn't die

It sure makes me feel good inside when this happens. Nothing like our 2nd amendment doing it's job.
It's definitely the better of the two outcomes
But the statement that you feel good a human was shot speaks volumes.
It does make me feel good
It does make me feel good when a well armed citizen is able to defend herself with the force she thought would end the threat. It's to bad the 6th shot missed. Who really cares if some low-life piece of something got shot in the process. He got was he had coming to him. Maybe it will be a life changing experience for him.
You say, "Well he has a family." I bet they are real proud of him. He probably suffered from to many time outs as a child instead of getting what he needed.
I was thinking along similar lines as you Voice
I'm certainly glad the family was able to defend themselves and are 'physically' safe, and that we as the American family still have the right to take such actions to protect those we cherish.
But it hardly makes me feel good that the young children (likely) had to witness the intruder being shot 6 times, even though he got what he deserved. However, its safe to say that I would have done the same, and without hesitation, in her circumstances. But It's also just as safe to say that I would feel many things afterward, but good would not be one.
Very
well said.
Well...........
With a different outcome, it would be worse attending their funerals.
well
Let's just hope he gets disability checks for the rest of his life.
This victim of the gun industry needs adequate compensation.
Shooting a man armed with only a crowbar is inhumane.
She should have just made him a sandwich.

YUP!
A well regulated Militia!
NRA definition today -- "Militia" -- every able bodied man owning a gun.
This confuses the word "Militia" as used in the original Constitution that required the Second Amendment.

"If the "MILITIA" is not "WELL REGULATED" by "PEOPLE" keeping and bearing arms, the "MILITIA" becomes a threat to the "SECURITY OF A FREE STATE."
In the 1770's a militia was
In the 1770's a militia was every able bodied man with a gun. And thank God we had those brave people then. Why should it be any different today?
Just Wonder
How bad this would have gone for her and her family if she would have opened the door the see who was knocking and what they wanted.
It doesn't say but I'm assuming this is during broad daylight.
