BADASS BABE IN GEORGIA

By Bob Walsh

A female resident was in her bedroom, apparently either packing or unpacking from a move, when three armed men kicked in her front door. The Lawrenceville resident responded immediately, charging out of her bedroom with pistol in hand and opening fire, to great effect.

All three of the bad guys fled immediately. One ran THRU a glass door in his effort to escape.

One of the three was found toes-up in the driveway. The other two got away, at least for now. The cops are looking for them. (I wonder if Georgia has a felony murder rule?)

The woman's male roomie showed up almost immediately after the lead stopped flying

The woman fired at least one round out thru the front doorway as the bad guys were fleeing, In the People's Republic of California that could have some criminal or civil liability attached. In Georgia I strongly suspect nobody will give a damn.

Below is the WSBTV report on this story:

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Gwinnett County police are investigating a case in which a woman shot and killed one of several men breaking into her home.

Gwinnett County police said they responded to the house in the 3000 block of Spring Drive after the shooting happened just before 4 a.m. Friday.

A man and woman were sleeping inside the house when three men kicked in the front door, Gwinnett County police Cpl. Deon Washington said.

The woman grabbed her gun, confronted the three intruders and fired shots at them, Washington said.

"At least one of the other two suspects began firing back at her," Washington said. "So they were exchanging gunfire as they fled the scene."

One of the three intruders was shot and died on the scene, police said. Investigators identified the intruder as Antonia Leeks, 28, of Atlanta.

The other two intruders fled in a car and are still on the run. Washington said at least one of them is armed with a handgun. Police do not have an accurate description of the men at this time.

Police questioned the man and woman inside the home. They said the woman, who is Asian, is the owner of a restaurant. Investigators said they believe the woman was targeted and the men were trying to rob her.

"This is a very harrowing experience for anyone to endure. She's shaken. It's a very difficult experience for anyone to deal with,” Washington said.

Washington said that, luckily, there were no children in the house at the time.

Home invasions are seldom random acts. Many are drug rip off related or business owner related. Asians business owners are prime targets because it is believed that they keep their daily income in their residence.

The latest popular robbery trend is called jugging. Robbers target business owners at their bank. They rent a car, print a paper buyers tag replica on a home computer and follow the victim from the bank on the way to the business and rob them at the first available opportunity. Usually where the victim parks or exits his vehicle. Some banks have made this easier by closing their drive thru window and forcing customers inside. The Jugger's can plainly see the bank bag when they exit.

Be safe.

It is my understanding (from unofficial sources) that the 911 operator gave her a LOT of grief because she speaks English with a definite accent. Not so bad that you can't understand her, but it is definitely there.
