The incident occurred in Edinburg, Texas, when 36-year-old Carlos Garcia broke into a home on Nardo Street through the garage. Fortunately, the family heard the intruder and had time to hide in a bedroom. The mother quickly called the police while the intruder attempted to break through the bedroom door.
Fearing for her children’s safety, the mother grabbed her firearm and warned the intruder that she was armed. Despite her warning, the intruder continued to try and force his way into the bedroom. In a moment of self-defense, the mother fired a single shot through the door, hitting Garcia in the arm. This was enough to deter the attacker, who fled the scene before the police arrived.
Garcia was later caught by the police and taken to the Hidalgo County Jail. It was revealed that he and the mother knew each other, but he did not have permission to be on her property. The police confirmed that the mother acted in self-defense and will not face any charges.
The community has shown overwhelming support for the mother’s actions, praising her for doing whatever it takes to protect her children. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms for self-defense.
