Woman Shoots Intruder During 911 Call

woman shoots, kills intruder
"I think I've killed him"

An intruder who broke into a Lincoln County woman's home was killed early Friday when the woman armed herself and shot him.

Donna Jackson, 57, was asleep when she heard Billy Dean Riley pounding on her back door about 12:45 a.m., Sheriff Chuck Mangion said.

While on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, Jackson went to investigate an More..d Riley tossed a patio table through the glass door before coming inside. She fired one blast from a 16-gauge shotgun, hitting him in the chest, Mangion said.

Deputies arrived at the rural home in the 352100 block of East 800 Road south of Cushing and found Riley, 53, of Sparks lying dead.

Mangion said he smelled of alcohol and had a lengthy history of drug and alcohol offenses.

Riley and his sister, who authorities said was also heavily intoxicated, had been driving east of the woman's house when Riley crashed his pickup truck. It wasn't immediately clear why he went to Jackson's home.

Mangion said the woman was not arrested and appears to have acted in self-defense. She was alone when Riley came to the house.

Jackson was shaken up, but unhurt, Mangion said.

never point ur gun at their head at close range...you are at greatest risk of being disarmed. keep it close to ur body at close range (since u wont miss at this distance)

"Somebody died for having a history of violence."

Who knew his history?? Did he introduce himself, as he was breaking down the door?

"because he'd actually done anything."

He broke down the door!!! With her there!!! Do you think, he was selling girlscout cookies??

Please, think before your write. You come across as incredibly bloody stupid.

Has this lady been in New York she would be serving 20 years for not letting the criminal do what he planned. Liberal states are so backwards

He broke into her house. Should she have waited until he actually KILLED her before she defended herself? SMH

Here is how my call to 911 would go. 911 whats your emergency? Me: Nothing now but I have a dead guy laying on my floor I just shot could you send someone to come get him please. THE END. Lets see what would anyone with a gun grab first the gun or a phone? I will call after it is over otherwise the call might be for me to be tagged and bagged because I was trying to make a phone call instead of defending myself.
