This chick won't be suing due to a mild case of bullet in the head.

Homeowner was an outstanding citizen and won't be charged, as he shouldn't.

Woman intruder, 53, shot dead at home in Cherokee County

An armed woman who entered a home in north Cherokee County was shot and killed by the homeowner early Friday morning, officials said.

Sheriff Roger Garrison said the woman, Barbara Ellen Smith, was a former co-worker of the homeowner, was dressed head to toe in camouflage and that her face was covered. She entered the home through the garage door after the man's wife left for work, Garrison said.

Smith, 53, confronted the homeowner, 54-year-old Fred Stanley Whitmore, and the two struggled, he said. During the struggle, Smith was fatally shot once in the head, Garrison said.

Another news station tonight said she was shot with her own gun. How in the hell do you pull a gun on someone and land up getting shot in the head with your own gun ?

Silly woman, should of stayed in the kitchen.

It's pretty senseless to dress up in camouflage invading someone's home, unless that house is a tree house.

Does GA have a pretty good Castle doctrine?

For those who didn't know: In a lot of states you can legally use deadly force against any intruder in your home even if they are unarmed.

DashK reminded me of this constantly when there was a silly plane ticket fundraiser for LoneSage to go to Florida and kick DashK's ass.

Am I the only one who saw the house with teh swing out front and was reminded of Forrest Gump?

You use camouflage to get inside the house...

Stand your ground here.

You're allowed to use deadly force on anyone who unlawfully enters your home. The fact they illegally entered your home is the default "threat" to stand your ground and act in self-defence.
