A 70-year-old Florida woman shot and killed a suspected home intruder who allegedly wouldn’t leave the residence even after the woman fired off a warning shot.
"I didn’t know what he was going to do, but I knew I was going to protect myself. I’m a fighter. I’m going to defend myself," Virginia Morrison told FOX 35 News.
The stranger, later identified as Ezequiel Rosario-Torres, 38, reportedly walked into Morrison’s Orange County home Sunday afternoon. Morrison said she tried to get him out of the house by hitting him with a broom, but Rosario-Torres reportedly swatted the broom away.
"He stepped in, and I turned around, and I said ‘who the hell are you? What do you want?’ Nothing. This guy never said a word the whole time he was here," the Florida grandmother said.

The intrusion escalated when Morrison’s partner Charlie retrieved his gun and fired a warning shot, but the suspect did not leave, she recounted.
Morrison then retrieved her gun and fired a warning shot, she said.
"He started coming toward me and I fired a shot above him. ‘Back off dude!’" Morrison said. "And he just kept coming toward me. So I just lowered my gun and shot him."
"I didn’t realize I hit him but once I looked, he had a hole in his t-shirt and I thought I got him," she said.

Shouldn't have done that. Just kill him.

Innocent until proven guilty.
Although in this case mawmaw declared him guilty herself.

I wouldn’t even have given a warning shot. Guy got a lucky chance and still was dumb enough to not retreat.
