Mother of two defends family from criminal wielding a machete and shotgun, WOOD, Grand Rapids, Mich. January 31, 2014

A mother of two was upstairs at home with her children in Iona County, Mich. when she heard a suspicious noise coming from the first floor. The woman retrieved a gun, went to the top of the stairs, and spotted a masked criminal armed with a machete and a shotgun through a window next to the home's front door. The armed homeowner raised the firearm at the criminal, prompting the would-be intruder to retreat from the door.

Eventually police arrived on the scene and captured the suspect, following a brief chase. In an interview with a local media outlet following the incident, the armed mother stated, "I honestly think the gun saved my life." (WOOD, Grand Rapids, Mich. January 31, 2014)
