A woman shot two burglars after a break-in on her property in St. Louis early Thursday morning, KMOV-TV reported, citing police.
Police said the homeowner was in her rear garage — where she's temporarily living — in the 2100 block of Stansbury Street when two men broke in just before 3 a.m., the station said.
When one of the men charged at her, she shot him and ran out of the garage, KMOV reported.
The second suspect then started fighting with her, and she reportedly hit him with her gun, and he was shot in the hand, the station said.
Both suspects were taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition, KMOV said.
According to KSDK-TV, the woman is 46 years old, the suspect who allegedly charged her is 44 years old, and the suspect who allegedly fought with her is 42 years old.
While it's not yet clear what charges may be filed in the case, commenters on KMOV's Facebook page concerning the reported burglary and shooting seemed squarely in the woman's corner:
