she should have shot first and talked later. Sucks to get shot with your own gun.
ReplyDeletewhat happened to the gun? did perps leave immed. following the shot? was anything stolen?
ReplyDeleteGlad she is ok but more to story than her getting shot in leg. guess they couldn't wait to publish that and forgot the rest of the story.
Our prayers are with the Kuhn family for a speedy recovery....
ReplyDeleteWonder how the perps got past the locked gated community and locked doors? Was there a sign of a break in? Why was she in possession of a loaded gun and was it licensed? Why not call 911 first?
ReplyDeleteI agree with 6:14 PM and 1:37 PM something smells very fishy with this story.
ReplyDeleteHer husband works for the Ocean City Fire and EMS so maybe we will hear more about it in the near future.
Hopefully our law enforcement officers will show their mettle and detective skills and get to the bottom of this strange home invasion.
ReplyDeleteAnon 2:00 why does it really matter where her husband works? For all i care he could work at mcdonalds, There is always someone like you bringing information that is not needed into everything.
