Milwaukee Woman Shoots an Intruder to Protect Her Children
Monday, August 15th, a Milwaukee woman asked not to be identified enjoyed her morning shower before heading to work. She heard her children, aged 12 and 14, screaming in the living room. It turned out that an intruder had broken into her home.
WTMJ-TV Milwaukee reports that she “without hesitation raced to her bed, grabbed her gun and ran down the hallway to confront the intruder.”
According to the report, her pit bulls had already attacked the intruder. According to the woman, he would not stop coming. She fired multiple shots at him, and he was shot and killed. According to reports, the suspect was in his 30s and acting out of control.
Bushraa Rahman, a community activist, told MEAWW that “In today’s day and age with mental health and all the other happenings in the world, it’s better to protect yourself.” You must, to be honest.
Newsweek adds legitimacy by stating that her actions are supported by the U.S. Department of Justice’s July statement that there are 2.5 million burglaries per year in the United States and that 66 percent of these are home intruders.
Rahman, who helped to clean up the scene, said that she was scared because her children were with her. She did what any mother would do. She stood up for her children.”

Police arrested the woman shortly after the shooting and removed the body with Rahman’s assistance. Police released the mother after several hours of questioning. The matter was referred to the District Attorney and police have no plans to release any further information.

WTMJ-TV reports that the gun was purchased by the mother ten years ago after she discovered a man sleeping underneath her son’s mattress. She stated that she hoped it would never be needed.
