A homeowner fended off an intruder who kicked in her front door Monday night when she shot at him with a handgun, police said.
The woman was home alone in the 1800 block of North Owasso Avenue when the man rang her doorbell several times about 11:45 p.m. The noise startled the woman and she grabbed a .357-caliber pistol, police said.
The man then broke into the house and the woman fired a single shot. She missed and the burglar fled, according to police.
The intruder was black, in his early 20s and about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a red and blue baseball hat and a red and blue jacket.
The end result was a positive but it sounds like she needs a bit more training. Not sure whether she was shooting .357 or .38 but she'd be better off with the latter in a short barreled revolver.
