TX: Woman, 64, guns down intruder: "The woman was upstairs with her husband in their home in the 7100 block of Oakridge Drive when they heard a loud bang, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said. They checked downstairs and found a man in his late teens or early 20s inside. He had broken a sliding glass door with a hammer, McManus said. “What are you doing in my house?” the husband asked, while his wife grabbed a gun and fired one shot, killing the intruder. Police officers working undercover were already in the area Thursday afternoon because of a rash of recent burglaries. Advised of the incident, they arrested a man blocks away from the shooting scene who they believe was the dead man's accomplice. Arriving police found the other suspect dead and the homeowners shaken but uninjured, McManus said. McManus said the shooting appeared to be justified, and no charges were filed."
