A homeowner in Mayfield KY was shot when he answered a knock on his door around midnight Wednesday night. The intruders shot him, then struck him. Also in the house were his wife, daughter, and a grandchild. The wife heard the shot, armed herself and when the intruders attempted to enter the bedroom she opened fire striking one of them on the arm and in the side. The intruders fled the scene after shooting her twice. When police arrived the woman was on the bed with three weapons.
An employee for the local school system saw two men walking down a road with identical black shirts and camo pants on and contacted the sheriff's office. By the time they got there another motorist had picked the men up and gave them a ride to another small town in the county where they were apprehended.
Later in the day another suspect was arrested. He was an ex boyfriend of the daughter and had been a guest in the home before. Apparently the object of the home invasion was to steal the family's guns. Rumor has it that he was driving the getaway car and got away when the shooting started.
My wife knows the couple and there were no drugs involved, at least of the victims side. The daughter always seemed to be a good kid. She is about thirty and went to school with my oldest.
Lessons from this: #1 Never open the door to someone you don't know. #2 Make sure every family member knows where the weapons are and how to use them. #3 Have a plan.
This is preliminary report and there will probably be some changes. But, there is no doubt that the intruders would have killed the entire family if the woman had not fought back.
