I guess it never occurred to you, or to the intruder that the home's occupant might have a gun either? Or that some people will defend themselves and their home? Maybe the fact that she defended her home, will help him reconsider his option to break into someone else's home later. More people need to stand up to the bullies instead of running away and crying for someone else to do it.

I'm glad she was only slightly hurt but she should have turned ran and called 911...he could have had a gun. If she had left him in there he may have been caught, but now he's out there to do it again.
