Armed Mom Defends Her Children

All this over a PlayStation 5 Pro. 3 charged in home invasion, shooting of local mother home alone with 2 children | WAND TV

[A woman] was woken up to the sound of shattering glass and footsteps inside her home on the city's east side near Hill Park around 4 a.m. Monday. She was home alone with her two young children when she saw two people standing inside.

She gathered her children and told the intruders to leave or she would shoot them. According to Templar, they started immediately shooting at her. She shot back, but was hit once in the arm and once in the hip. According to a sworn statement from the Decatur Police Department, this was the same hip she was using to hold her infant daughter.

Decatur, Illinois is about a 2 hour and 45 minute drive south-southwest of Chicago, or about 40 miles east of Springfield, Illinois.

She called her boyfriend at one point. He arrived at the home and took her to a local hospital. The wounds are not serious.

Later that night, cops were called to a home about a gunshot wound.

According to the sworn statement from DPD, Stone told the detective that he was contacted by a 16-year-old boy he knew who had a plan to commit a burglary and split the proceeds. Another person Stone knew was also involved in the burglary plan, Sophie, later identified as 25-year-old Colton L. Clark.

The 16-year-old is the one who apparently shot this woman.

Stone was charged with home invasion, while Clark and the 16-year-old were charged with attempted murder, home invasion, and aggravated battery with a firearm. Stone and Clark were booked into the Macon County Jail, while the 16-year-old is currently being detained at the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center.

A PlayStation 5 Pro, can be picked up at my local Walmart tomorrow for $700. Split 3 ways, that doesn't amount to much, even assuming that they could sell it for anything close to retail.

The hat tip goes to Liberty Doll and her video Armed Mom Takes On Three Bad Guys. The video is less than 6 minutes.
