According to Hoppe, four men kicked in the front and back doors to gain entry to a house on the 52000 block of Government Road in Rushseba Township. The homeowner was sleeping when the burglars came calling at 2 a.m. Friday. She grabbed a 9 millimeter handgun and fired two rounds, but didn't hit anybody, authorities said.

Thankfully, the homeowner had the means to protect herself.
Hoppe said that homeowners "have the right to protect themselves in their homes," but advises that victims not confront thieves and simply call 911.
