How Should a Woman Respond to a Felon in Her Home?

I'd say she handled this pretty well. Albuquerque burglary suspect shot by homeowner

[Albuquerque Police Department (APD)] says on Thursday, they located a stolen vehicle being driven by Rivera in the Valley Area Command and deflated the tires of the vehicle with stop sticks. [Joseph Rivera, 32,] continued to drive on the rims after the tires were deflated. The vehicle then crashed

He broke into a home, and the woman there called 911.

Police say Rivera was demanding the homeowner give him her car keys. Rivera took the keys and the homeowner locked the front door behind Rivera after he left. She then went into her bedroom and armed herself. When Rivera returned into the home demanding more keys, the homeowner told him to leave but he refused.

She shot him once and provided first aid until cops arrived.

Rivera was taken to a local hospital. He will be taken into custody and charged after he is released.

He will be charged with burglary, attempting to commit a felony, and something related to the stolen vehicle.

The homeowner was not charged because self defense is a human right, and your legal right in New Mexico.

So, I'm still waiting for the gun-hating part of the Left to explain to me what she should have done. Made tea? Given him anything he wanted? What if he was a rapist? I imagine I will be waiting for a long time.
