A Texas woman appeared to do everything she could to avoid a deadly confrontation — but it was not to be.
Police said the homeowner near Forney in Kaufman County was awakened Thursday morning by someone banging on her front door,KDFW-TV reported.
She didn't answer the door because she didn't recognize the man or his vehicle, the station said.
But soon after, the woman heard her back door being kicked in, KDFW reported. With that she called 911 and locked herself in a closet while staying on the line with the 911 operator, the station added, noting the time of the call was about 9:45 a.m.
His final faux pas
Then the intruder confronted her while she was still in the closet, KDFW said — and that apparently was the intruder's last mistake.
The homeowner defended herself by shooting the suspect, the station reported. When Kaufman County sheriff's deputies arrived, the intruder — who has not yet been identified — was pronounced dead, KDFW said.
The woman was not injured, the station reported, adding that the Texas Rangers are assisting sheriffs with the investigation.

I heard a story about a woman who lived out west. Her neighbor called and told her someone was trying to get in her house.
The woman in question had a dog and there was a doggie door in the back of the house so the dog could get out any time it wanted.
She was armed and the guy who tried to get into her neighbors home tried to come in thru the doggie door. She shot him in the head.
This is proof positive that an armed homeowner is the best defense against criminal attack. ;)
