A 67-year-old woman in Interlachen, Florida, fatally shot an armed intruder who forced his way into her home early Wednesday morning.
According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responding to the scene found the intruder, identified as 64-year-old Reginald Best, suffering from a gunshot wound and transported him to the hospital where he later died.
The homeowner reported to the deputies that she had heard the front door handle shaking and, assuming it was her husband returning from work, opened the door. However, she was confronted by the armed intruder who had forced his way into her home, prompting her to use lethal force in self-defense.
