NV: Girls barge into house; woman opens fire: "A woman is sharing an emotional account of what she calls an unexpected and frightening confrontation. The 59-year-old says she felt forced to open fire after a pair of 20-year-olds forced their way into her apartment. "I thought they were on drugs. They had eyes so black, like a shark's eyes. It was horrendous. I couldn't believe it," said Lorraine Dipaola, who fired a single bullet. After the reviewing the case and interviewing witnesses, police have decided that the "victim" recovering from a gunshot wound may not be such a victim after all. Lorraine Dipaola claims she has never met these two girls before, until they came pounding on her door. She describes taking a jab to the left eye and to the ribs. According to Dipaola, the intruders pushed her 76-year-old disabled husband to the floor. "I warned them. I said if you don't leave my home, I will shoot. The girl said, I'm going to f'n kill you. She came at me like that. I had no choice," said Lorraine Dipaola"
