Detroit Woman Buys Gun After Being Robbed, Uses It To Fight Off 5 Man Home Invasion

A Detroit woman defended herself with gunfire early Tuesday morning when a group of men broke into her home.

The woman, who goes by the nickname Ms. Dee, said she was jolted awake around 2 a.m. when one of the men broke through her bedroom window of her home on Whitehill and pointed a gun in her face. Three or four more men followed behind.

“I was able to get to my gun. They didn’t know I had it. By that time, it was just gunfire,” Ms. Dee said.

She was hit in the foot and is expected to be OK. She said she believes at least one of the men was also shot.
