Woman fires at home burglars: 'I let loose on them'
Detroit — Five men who broke into Dietta Gueye's east side home early Tuesday morning got more than they bargained for when the 34-year-old woman opened fire at them with the 9 mm Glock she keeps by her bedside.

"They weren't ready for that 9 I had," she chuckled from a lawn chair in front of her house hours after the home invasion.

One of the men shot back and hit Gueye in the right thigh. But after treatment at a local hospital, she said she felt fine.

"I'm kind of just a little sore," she said. "I'm OK, though."

Unlike the woman in NJ who was stalked by a violent ex and was murdered while waiting months for police to process a gun permit

this lady managed to drive off five attackers while sustaining minor injury.

For those who will say "Call the police..."

Police response time. It takes an average of 58 minutes — nearly an hour — for Detroit police to respond to any call, whether top priority or routine. The fastest response time for any precinct in the city is 31 minutes; the longest is 115 minutes, or almost two hours. By contrast, the average national response time is 11 minutes, while police in Dearborn, on Detroit’s western border, arrive on average within seven minutes.

edit> apologies to Detroit EMS

Craig said this was largely a data management issue, as the calls did not take into account delays caused by dispatchers and improperly included non-priority calls in the data, which skewed the response time.

With those data issues corrected, Detroit police still take about seven minutes longer to respond to life-threatening calls than the national average, 11 minutes. They hope to improve response time to meet the national average by years end.

1. If only "they" could have prevented her being rude to the criminals like the NJ folks.

[sarisataka]

5. "they" might also say

she is partially at fault for living in a bad neighborhood and around abandoned houses. If she was really responsible she would have moved.

7. "They" might gave a sad at that.

You know It is not right to correctly point out how "they" blamed a victim.

10. Wait I thought gated communities were bad???

[sarisataka]

11. They are according to

people like Rosie and Bloomberg who need armed guards in their gated communities.
Guns are apparently ok when you don't have to soil your hands touching one.

2. The article says she likely hit one or two of them

If so, they should be able to make an arrest if one of them shows up at a hopital, and hopefully catch all 5.

Too bad she didnt manage to hit all 5.

3. This article also demonstrates the moral bankruptcy of magazine limits.

Five attackers?

[Duckhunter935]

8. But if you could shoot several with each bullet

You need no more than one or two.

4. Another in a long line of Detroit self defense stories the past two years

IIRC, not a lot of these Detroit stories are about overweight, old, tea bagger white guys that "stroke their guns" either?

Seems like a lot of Detroit African-American women have followed their chief of police's advice and got their permits and armed up.

But ... they all must have already had a bunch of guns in their closets, since; "there are no new gun owners just a lot of ammosexuals buying more guns", except here in Illinois which is an anomaly of course.

6. If I have the vernacular correct

according to those favoring gun control the lady in the story (can't call her a victim- that would be those unfortunate youths she shot because she values property over lives) is a paranoid gunhumping racist ammosexual COWARD.
"there is never a valid reason for a private citizen to have a firearm"

12. One of the Thugs, who shot her, was definitely a HyperPunk®. Bet he'll try again....

...but maybe some place else.
