Georgia Mom Guns Down Intruder, Saves Children

<img src="http://zionica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/slater2.jpg" align="right">A Georgia mother gunned down an intruder who broke into her home as her children hid in a crawlspace.

The 37-year-old woman initially thought the person knocking at her door was a solicitor. But when the man repeatedly rang the doorbell, she called her husband. He told her to gather the children and hide while he called 911.

By that time, the man had already forced his way into the three-story house in the town of Loganville.
