Phoenix woman shoots at suspect trying to break into her home

A Phoenix woman took out her gun and started firing at a suspect, through the door, who was trying to break into her apartment.
Jenelle Williams heard a man screaming at someone outside one of the buildings in her apartment complex near Central and Campbell avenues around 1 a.m.
She and her 16-year-old son were running out to the store and she says she went right back in and locked her door.
The suspect started beating her door down.
"I opened my door like a deer caught in headlights. We make eye contact and I was like, oh you’re right here," she said. "To almost knock a door down like that, you have to be really raging."
She thought her door was going to be knocked down.
"It was going to come down. I saw it bend in, like bend, not break or crack, just bend. That’s when I was announcing already, ‘Hey, I got a gun, I got a gun. Get away from my house.’ Then, I shot. I fired," she said.
She fired two shots and missed, but it was enough to scare the man away. She was shaken, but she was alive.

GOOD FOR YOU. Malcolm X - “Self-defense, since self-preservation is the first law of nature, we assert the right to self-defense. The Constitution of the United States of America clearly affirms the right of every American Citizen to bear arms. And as Americans we will not give up a single right guaranteed under the Constitution. The history of unpunished violence against our people clearly indicates that we must be prepared to defend ourselves or we will continue to be a defenseless people.”

Theodore Wafer went to prison for doing that and Susan Lorincz is being prosecuted for doing the same thing. Interesting how differently people get treated.

That's because those incidents happen in a different state that had different laws. Are you race baiting?
