It is three in the morning. You are startled awake by a crashing sound and you feel the house shudder. You’re a 27-year-old woman and your roommate is a 26-year-old woman. You shout to ask if she is OK. You leave your bedrooms and see a man inside your home. You both shout for him to leave. He pushes you and then hits you. You run back to your bedroom to get your handgun. When you return, your attacker is fighting with your roommate. You shoot the attacker in the leg and now he stops. Your roommate calls 911 while you stand there holding your gun.
