A heavily pregnant woman used an AR-15 to kill a home intruder after two masked men entered her home in Florida, pistol whipped her husband and violently grabbed their daughter. Jeremy King, from Lithia in Florida, was at home with his wife when the two armed men stormed in last Wednesday at about 9pm before pointing a gun at his head and demanding money. Police say the suspects grabbed the couple's 11-year-old daughter as King tried to explain they didn't have anything that was worth giving them. King told Bay News 9 that one of the men then started pistol-whipping

Attagirl! And pregnant too! Good job protecting your kin.
Remember when Biden advised women to "get a shotgun"? No way could a heavily pregnant woman safely handle a shottie in the heat of the moment like this.

I wonder if the intruders were aliens from Mars. Seeing as there is no description given, that would be a reasonable assumption, don’t you think?

Excellent shooting, mame. We mother bears are not to be messed with.
If with this weapon an 8 months pregnant woman can with one bullet alone put down an armed criminal threatening her family, I defy anyone to say it is not useful for self defense.

The goal isn't to "even the playing field." You brought deadly force into someones home and met a more deadly force, sorry, bad decision you loose. I'm a little surprised that there wasn't more said regarding the shooting of someone who was fleeing. Trust me, in my opinion when someone is forced into flight or flight by a legitimate deadly threat, nobody should dare question why they made the decisions they made under those circumstances. I'm just a bit surprised that the armchair lefties wouldn't expect her to hold her fire once the threat was running of to do laundry.

#6, the answer to the source of your surprise is that most lefties are well aware that an 8 month pregnant woman is a more sympathetic figure than ANY picture they can possibly paint of the fleeing thug. If the husband had been the shooter, they quite likely would have tried to portray the perpetrator as a poor, troubled, misunderstood individual.

I read all three linked articles in this story and not one time was a photo or description of the dead thug mentioned, which tells me more than it would did they show a photo. Good job, Mama. Bet that other thug won't be back, either.

As soon as that dead perp is identified, they’ll find the other one that got away.

Wanna bet the perps were black thugs wearing hoodies.
Dead count should have been two.

FTA: King's wife only fired one round from the AR-15, which struck the suspect as he tried to flee. --- I thought if you pull trigger on an AR-15 it automatically shot numerous rounds? She gets off one round and hits target. Nice shooting.

Well done, madam. One shot from the AR-15 fired, one dead criminal. Top marks for the lady.
And, no offense against Mr. and Mrs. King, but that is a pretty tiny, ordinary house, and I believe Mr. King when he says "we didn't have anything that was worth giving them".
As I often say about violent criminals, "They didn't choose this line of work because they were extra smart."
That "high capacity rapid fire" AR-15......fired one shot. Says something about good marksmanship.

Well said, #13, but I think your estimates of police reponse times are wildly optimistic for much of America, especially rural America. In suburbia, 10-15 minutes is not uncommon, and in rural areas, half an hour may be "quick".

I’d have shot him too, running away or not. How did she know that he wasn’t running off to find more homies to help him and then coming back? Great move, ma’am! Congratulations!

Pistols put bullets in people. Rifles put bullets through people! Never bring a pistol to a rifle fight! Good for this woman! He’s a lucky man! Although I’m sure the perps were hands up, don’t shoot... did she use her iron sights or was she the beneficiary of a cool trijicon red dot? That would be awesome! Bet she has it sighted in and has been to the range a bunch! Excellent!

I just love these fuzzy warm stories on a cold winter day. Brave wife. Their future son or daughter will be very lucky. Should name him/her AR15.

Never underestimate the power of pregnancy hormones. Those two idiots who broke in obviously did. Pregnant women can be most terrifying if you make them angry. Late term pregnancy will do that to you.
Good for Mom, and I hope the remaining thug gets what is coming to him times 10.

If it is a threat today, it will be a threat tomorrow, if it is dead today it ain't no threat tomorrow.
Special Operators have a saying, never leave a live enemy behind you, really good advice,
even if that enemy is running away.
