A 33-year old mother took matters into her own hands when three men broke into her house in Magnolia, TX on Friday night while she and her 6-year old child were home alone.

The mother grabbed her pistol, and when the men found her she had the gun pointed at them. She shot at them, causing them to flee the house. She thinks she hit one of the intruders.

The police are investigating, and if anyone has any information they are asked to call Montgomery County Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP (7867), the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 936-760-5800 (24 hrs) or Detectives S. Mullis or P. Hahs at 936-760-5876.

This story is similar to another incident in Georgia in which a mother used her revolver to save herself and her 9-year old twins from an intruder.
