Mother Jumps Out of Shower, Grabs Gun, Shoots Alleged Intruder to Save Her Children | |
2022-08-19 | |
![]() An early WTMJ report indicated the mother was “dripping wet” when she got out of shower, yet she went to her bedroom, retrieved a gun, then confronted the alleged intruder. She reacted to the screams of her children, ages 12 and 14, which alerted her that something was wrong. The mother, who wishes to be unidentified, commented on the incident, saying, “It all happened so fast — an adrenaline rush.” An updated WTMJ report notes, “The mother bought the gun ten years ago, she said, after discovering a man sleeping under her son’s bed. She said she hoped she’d never need to use it.” But, she said, “I knew I’d be able to do it [shoot the intruder], to protect my kids.” Newsweek notes that NBC 11 quoted local community activist Bushraa Rahman reacting to the incident, saying, “She was scared because her children were there with her. So, she did what any mother would do. She defended her children. It was an act of self-defense.”
Milwaukee police have not identified the man, who she said was in his 30s and acting erratically. She says her children are traumatized after the incident, and the family will move as soon as they can find a new home.

#5 No they let her off. The community praised her greatly. And the guy's dead dead dead. So good outcome. If course it's horrible, and no one should have to go through it. |

#3 From WTMJ - Milwaukee Police have not identified the man. They arrested the woman but released her several hours later after questioning. Police said they won't be releasing any more information, and the incident will be referred to the District Attorney's Office. The Milwaukee DA, John Chisholm, is a big-time lefty. |

#1 This tidbit is shocking: “The mother bought the gun ten years ago, she said, after discovering a man sleeping under her son’s bed. She said she hoped she’d never need to use it.” Sleeping under her son’s bed. Words fail me. |
