A woman in Coldwater, Miss., defended herself and others when a crazed man allegedly broke into a home and began shooting on Jan. 24, 2022.

The incident started sometime after 8 p.m. that Monday evening, when a 63-year-old man began firing into the air in front of a neighboring home. The man then went to a nearby house and forced his way in. After making his way into the home, the man continued to fire his gun randomly. Three people were home at the time and were quickly alerted to the intruders presence through his loud entrance.

A woman inside the home, who was an acquaintance of the crazed man, armed herself and opened fire on the intruder. Her shots hit the man, ending his trigger-happy spree. The woman called police, who arrived to find the stricken intruder dead from his wounds. Police determined that the woman had justifiably defended herself and the other residents, and she was not charged. (fox13memphis.com, Memphis, Tenn., 01/26/2022)

From the Armed Citizen® Archives - March 27, 1987

When an armed man attempted to rob Salvatore Caruso's San Diego, Calif., shoe repair shop for the second time, the 61-year-old owner decided to fight back. While handing money to the robber with his left hand, Caruso fired a .38-cal. revolver from his right, wounding the armed man. The wounded man was held by police on suspicion of armed robbery and attempted robbery. A preliminary investigation showed Caruso was justified in shooting the robber. (The Union, San Diego, Calif.)
