Yep......I wonder what would have happened if she didn't have that shotgun...
Woman fires shot at burglar in her home on E. 35th St.
The woman says her husband, a firefighter, was on his shift Monday night, and she thought it was strange when she heard someone coming into her house.
"Got up thinking it was morning time, and it was my husband, got up to go greet him...and got punched in the face and pushed back into my bedroom,” said Shannon Linton, fended off intruders.
Down, but not out, Shannon Linton says she quickly realized that not one, but two men were in her home. Linton says she immediately feared for her teenage daughter, who was sleeping just feet away.
"I think when he punched me, he thought he'd knocked me out. Because he kept coming toward, down the hallway. And that's when I went right back into the bedroom and grabbed the gun,” said Linton.
Now armed with the 12 gauge, she intended to use it to keep her daughter safe.
"The only thing I can remember is the guy at the door hollering 'oh...' and running. And I just fired, like I said, all I could think was it was him or me. And I had to protect my daughter,” Linton said.
