she should have shot first and talked later. Sucks to get shot with your own gun.

Glad 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.

Wonder 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?

I agree with 6:14 PM and 1:37 PM something smells very fishy with this story.

Her husband works for the Ocean City Fire and EMS so maybe we will hear more about it in the near future.
