This is awesome.
Earlier this year a mother with two small children, who lived in a very vulnerable location in Miami Gardens, was the victim of thug who thought he’d bust down her door and take whatever he wanted.
But just as she had a camera set up to help protect her home, she also had a shotgun that came in very handy:
Here’s more from Local 10:
Surveillance video obtained Tuesday by Local 10 News shows a man entering the home March 4 while the mother of two was inside with her 10-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.
The mother didn’t hesitate to grab her shotgun.
“I will do anything to protect my family,” the woman, who does not want to be identified, said.
The woman, who did not fire her gun, said she is still shaken up and frightened about the ordeal.
“All of the sudden I hear some banging noise. I thought it was my dreams or something,” she said.
The woman said her instincts kicked in.
As her security cameras captured the man attempting to break into her home, she quickly rushed into her bedroom and grabbed her shotgun to protect her children.
“They were screaming and crying hysterically, because they were afraid of anything happening,” she said.
The burglar quickly realized that he was in serious trouble after making it inside the home.
“He was running for his life and kept looking back, making sure I wasn’t going to shoot him in the back,” the woman said.
“What stopped you from killing this guy?” Local 10 News reporter Michael Seiden asked.
“My kids. Not traumatizing them and I did have a baby,” she said.
Now this happened a few months ago, and at the time of the report the police had not caught the perp. Hopefully by now they’ve caught him.
