When She Answered the Knock at Her Door, a Man Put a Gun to Her Neck. By the Time He Realized He Made a Huge Mistake, It Was Too Late.
December 24, 2014
He wasn't ready.
A woman in Memphis, Tennessee, answered a knock at her door at around 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday. When she opened the door, she found herself in a potential life-and-death situation.
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Nico Carlisle, reportedly forced his way into the residence and pressed a gun to the female homeowner’s neck.
However, the suspected criminal was seemingly unaware that the woman had retrieved her handgun before she went to investigate the knock at the door. Police say the woman then fired multiple shots at Carlisle in apparent self-defense.
Responding police officers found the suspect lying down near the front door with multiple gunshot wounds. Carlisle was eventually pronounced dead.
Police are reportedly still searching for a second man who is believed to be involved in the botched robbery.
WREG-TV reports that no charges have been filed against the homeowner.
