Mom overpowered and shot a home invader dead.
A Louisiana mom fatally shot a man after the suspect broke into her house while she was home with her two young children on Sunday, January 8 2023, police said.
Rheams, 51, was shot dead by the woman in an attempt to protect her family, after he got into a physical scuffle with her inside her home.
During the struggle, she shot him dead around 5 a.m., according to Chief Jimmy Travis.
The home intruder, who was said to be out on parole after serving two decades in prison for armed robbery, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said he was also the suspect in a carjacking hours before he broke into the family’s home.
There have been no arrests and Travis said it appears that the woman was "exercising her second amendment rights to protect herself and her children from a violent home invasion."
