NRA Women The Armed Citizen Shooting A Pistol

A man who was shot by his intended victim during an attack has been charged with breaking and entering with intent to “terrorize, assault on a female and injury to real property.” The original attack occurred on April 1 when law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance call just after midnight. The victim said she had shot the suspect during the assault, but the man had fled the scene and ended up at a hospital. The suspect remains in jail with no bond; the woman will not face charges, according to reports. (wcnc.com; 4/11/25/ Gaston County, N.C.)
