An Indianapolis woman armed herself when she became aware that someone was breaking into the room in her house where her infant slept. “She heard the window get busted and she called her husband and said, 'I think somebody’s breaking in the house',” said the woman’s father to FOX 59. Her brother elaborated, “He broke in through the baby’s window, OK, and when he was coming out the door, my sister was coming out her bedroom door; he aimed and shot at her first, and then she shot him.”

The suspect was hospitalized after being shot multiple times. Dispatchers reported that he was in possession of zip ties and a walkie-talkie. The woman and her baby were both unharmed.
