NV: Girls barge into house; woman opens fire: "A woman is sharing an emotional account of what she calls an unexpected and frightening confrontation. The 59-year-old says she felt forced to open fire after a pair of 20-year-olds forced their way into her apartment. "I thought they were on drugs. They had eyes so black, like a shark's eyes. It was horrendous. I couldn't believe it," said Lorraine Dipaola, who fired a single bullet. After the reviewing the case and interviewing witnesses, police have decided that the "victim" recovering from a gunshot wound may not be such a victim after all. Lorraine Dipaola claims she has never met these two girls before, until they came pounding on her door. She describes taking a jab to the left eye and to the ribs. According to Dipaola, the intruders pushed her 76-year-old disabled husband to the floor. "I warned them. I said if you don't leave my home, I will shoot. The girl said, I'm going to f'n kill you. She came at me like that. I had no choice," said Lorraine Dipaola"


TN: Estranged boyfriend invades, killed: "A Westmoreland woman shot an estranged boyfriend to death in self-defense after he kicked in her back door armed with a gun Thursday night. “Evidently, an estranged boyfriend had called and made some threats that he was coming to the house and do harm,” said Maj. Don Linzy of the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office. The man, identified as Clinton Slayton, 29, of Westmoreland, drove to the home, ramming his vehicle into the woman’s vehicle. Slayton, armed with a gun, kicked in the back door of the residence and was shot by the woman, who was at home with her child at the time. Slayton was transported to Sumner Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. No charges have been filed at this time."


MI: No Charges Filed In Shooting Death: "Lawrence was shot once when he tried to get into the home of Manuel Medeiros in the 2100 block of Georgetown. Medeiros reportedly warned Lawrence he was at the wrong house and was hit by Lawrence several times. The report also says he told Lawrence he had a gun before he fired the fatal shot."
