Atlanta woman opens fire and kills a home invader

Surveillance video from inside the home shows the Gwinnett County woman rush from her bedroom and then unloads all her bullets on the three men who kicked in her front door. The surveillance footage, released by the Gwinnett County Police Department, shows the intruders - all of whom are carrying guns - bursting through the front door and rummaging through the house in the September 16 incident in Gwinnett. Seconds after entering the home, the woman is seen coming out of her bedroom in pajamas with a handgun, and fires several shots at the armed suspects, according to WSB TV 2. The video shows one of the men jumping through a glass door to get away from the stream of bullets, as dry wall debris is seen flying all over the house. Two of the men managed to escape. It is unclear if they had been shot. However a third intruder, identified Antonio Leeks, 28, of Atlanta, was shot and killed in the home invasion. He was found dead from his injuries in the driveway of the home by police. Police released in the footage in the hopes that someone will come forward and identify the other two suspects.Show more
