Pregnant Florida mom uses AR-15 to kill home intruder
2019-11-04
[New York Post] A pregnant woman is credited with saving the lives of her husband and daughter after she used an AR-15 to fatally gun down a home intruder, a report said.

The hero mom sprung into action when two intruders entered the family’s Lithia, Fla. home last week and pistol whipped her husband while violently grabbing their daughter, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

"They came in heavily hooded and masked," the husband, Jeremy King, told Bay News 9.
"Military Assault-Style Hoodsâ„¢. Semi-Automatic Masks, we verified"
"As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter."

The robbers then pistol-whipped King and kicked him while the man’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, retreated into the bedroom.

"When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him," King told the outlet. "He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing."

Police said in a press conference that they found the man’s dead body lying in the ditch nearby. The second suspect was on the loose.
"Feet, don't fail me now!"
The homeowner said he took a "severe beating," but credited his wife for saving him.

"I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head," said King.

#3  1. I bet the intruder and the husband had some sort of dispute over a criminal enterprise.
2. Wife should keep her mouth shut and have a lawyer speak for her, even in Florida.

#1  The AR did it's thing. Please. It's no different from a broom. It does nothing until a person picks it up. The guy talks like a gangsta. I imagine someone came looking for drugs or drug money.
