On January 26, 2023, a woman in Connecticut shot and killed two female robbers who had broken into her home. The woman, who has not been identified, was home alone when the two robbers, armed with handguns, broke into her house. The woman retrieved her own gun and fired at the robbers, striking both of them. One of the robbers died at the scene, and the other died later at a hospital.
The woman’s actions have been praised by many, who say that she was justified in using deadly force to defend herself and her home. However, some have also questioned whether the use of deadly force was necessary, and have called for an investigation into the incident.
