There are few scenarios that are more frightening than being a young mother at home with a baby when an armed stranger forces his way into the residence.
This heart-pounding situation played out Friday night in Joliet, Illinois, and it is almost assuredly thanks to the woman’s courage and the Second Amendment that the incident did not result in the loss of innocent life.
The worst-case scenario played out for a young Illinois mother, but thankfully, she had a loaded firearm
It was just before 10:30 p.m. Friday when the mother realized that she and her baby were not alone. Obviously frightened, she grabbed her child and rushed into an upstairs bedroom closet.
The suspect, who investigators say was unknown to the intended victim, was found wearing gloves and with a screwdriver. When officers arrived at the report of a home invasion, they found signs of forced entry.
Then they went upstairs.
By all indications, the suspect forced the issue and left the parent with no choice
The unidentified suspect was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities reported that the mother was waiting in the bedroom closet after she had wisely armed herself.
When the suspect entered the bedroom, the intended victim was left with no choice but to defend what was most precious to her, and she performed that duty admirably.
The Will County Coroner’s Office has not released the identity or cause of death of the deceased, and the victim reportedly is cooperating with authorities. The police are asking anyone with security video footage from the area on Friday night to come forward.
Even in an anti-gun stronghold such as Illinois, the Second Amendment came to the rescue of a young family. The mother showed great calm in grabbing her baby and securing a loaded firearm, and she waited until the decision was ripped away from her before she fired the fatal shot.
