A breastfeeding mother who also happens to be a member of the US Army’s National Guard has shot an intruder who broke into her home while she was trying to feed her infant son.
CBS reports that Semantha Bunce, 21, was breastfeeding her 4-month-old son in her bedroom when she heard the doorbell just before 10am last Tuesday.
Seconds later, an armed intruder kicked in the door, but Sementha grabbed her own weapon and fired at the intruder, who was shot in the stomach and arm.
Sementha’s husband Paul, who is also in the Army, was at work at the time. Their toddler was at school. Semantha was shot several times and is recovering in a hospital. The baby wasn’t injured.
Local media outlets report that the intruder, 23-year-old Reco Latur Dawkins Jr, has been charged with attempted murder, after turning himself in.
