A woman from Arizona says: A shot was fired from her front door. to protect herself and her 16-year-old son when a stranger tried to break it down.
The tragic incident began last weekend when Jenelle Williams and her son were leaving their apartment to go to the grocery store. Instead, they ran back inside. She said she saw a man screaming inside the apartment complex.
She said the man turned his attention to her apartment and when he saw her, he began breaking down the door.
“I opened the door like a deer caught in headlights. Our eyes met and I was like, oh, am I here?” she told KSAZ-TV. “You have to be really furious to almost knock the door down like that.”
She said she retrieved the gun and warned him before firing.
“It was about to fall. I could see it flexing, not breaking or cracking, just flexing. At that point, I was already like, 'Hey, I got a gun, “I've got a gun. Get out of the house,” he said. . “Then I shot, I fired,'' she said.
She added that she remembered that she was in a state of outright defiance, which gave her the courage to fire in self-defense.
“This is not a shooting range. This is reality,” Williams explained. “What went through my head was, 'This is a self-reliant state, this is a self-reliant state, so look after yourself, Jenelle.' I'm just shooting. And I'm like, “He's coming in, you can protect yourself, Jenelle.” It took a lot of courage to do that. ”
She called the police, who arrived but were unable to identify the suspect. Williams believes the man was involved in a domestic violence incident with another resident of the apartment complex.
She added that she herself is a victim of domestic violence and that her father recently asked her to buy a gun to protect herself.
“We finally did it earlier this year. It just happened to happen. I just happened to be there and they just happened to have it and I just happened to have it,” she said. “I'm really happy.”
