(WXYZ) – A Detroit mother opened fire Monday night when three suspects broke into her home.
Surveillance cameras caught it all.
The mother tells 7 Action News she “didn’t have time to get scared.” When she heard the door to her home on Woodrow Wilson being kicked in, she immediately warned the three teenage intruders and then opened fire.
UPDATE: Detroit Police Chief reacts, says, “She did the right thing.”
One of the teens dropped a handgun on his way out the door. He then tried to get back inside the house a second time, but was again met with gunfire. Once again, he took off and all three were arrested shortly after the incident by Detroit Police.
Recalling the panic she felt, the mom says “I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house. They said no you don’t so I shot off the first round. I wasn’t feeling anything at the moment, I got scared afterwards.”
The Detroit Police chief? He’s cool with it.

(WXYZ) – It’s the video creating a national stir as it goes viral.
Seen first on 7 Action News at 11 , a mother from Detroit opening fire on three teenage burglars inside her home.
Now Detroit’s Chief of Police is responding to the dramatic footage and the mother’s actions.
“She did the right thing” says Chief James Craig acknowledging the mother gave a verbal warning prior to firing the weapon.
As we first reported, the mother was protecting two small children inside the home.
She tells us “I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house. They said no you don’t so I shot off the first round.” Her husband is thankful she and the kids are safe.
He gave her the weapon just two weeks ago and showed her how to use it.
“If I hadn’t prepared my wife for this kind of situation, I could have came home to a family that was gone,” he says.
I wonder what liberals like Diane Feinstein would say about this little situation? 🙄
