Teen Mom in Oklahoma Shoots Armed Intruder and Protects her Baby!
Here is a “Guns Save Lives” story from Oklahoma that I pulled out of the vault. Sarah McKinley, an 18 year old widow and mother of a 3 month old baby shot and killed an intruder on New Year’s Eve 2011.
The bad guy was trying to get into her house for several minutes and then started to break down the door. This young mother put her baby down in the bedroom with a bottle, grabbed her shotgun and pistol, and called 911. While she was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher the criminal busted through the door and came after this young mother armed with a knife. She acted quickly and fatally shot the scumbag. Oh and he had a friend waiting outside that was forced to run away but was eventually caught by the police.
Sarah MacKinley told reporters the following about her experience.
“I wouldn’t have done it, but it was my son,” McKinley told ABC News Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO. “It’s not an easy decision to make, but it was either going to be him or my son. And it wasn’t going to be my son. There’s nothing more dangerous than a woman with a child.”
This mom deserves big props for having the right protective mindset and taking action to protect her child. I bet bad guys in that area will think twice about knocking on her door after hearing this story.
