A woman in suburban Atlanta was attacked in her home as she took a shower she ended up shooting and killing her assailant. I thought there were a few important lessons here and maybe others I missed.
First, the woman fought back using whatever she could for a weapon in this case the shower curtain rod. She did not give up during what I am sure was a very scary situation.
Secondly, she had made the decision to arm herself and regardless of how bad the situation was she did not forget that gun. When she was able she got to the gun and utilized it ending the attack.
Thirdly, she utilized a .22 revolver. I have no way of knowing why she selected that caliber, but she obviously felt comfortable with it and it was effective.
