OT -- Score 0.75

She gets 1 point for killing the burgler, but gets 1/4 point deducted for
wounding her husband in the process... Not bad scoring for the night...
Perhaps the husband might have a different opinion on the 1/4 point
deduction...

Woman kills intruder, wounds husband in home invasion

An east Harris County woman shot and killed an armed man, but also accidentally wounded her husband, as she foiled an apparent home-invasion robbery at their apartment, authorities said.

The dead man, identified as Charles Freeman, 21, was found at the bottom of a flight of stairs about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday when sheriff's deputies arrived at the apartment in the 300 block of Audrey.

Freeman was wearing all-black clothing with a bandana pulled over his face when he forced his way into the apartment, authorities said.

"He came in and demanded money and the TV," said sheriff's Lt. John Legg.

After her husband began struggling with the intruder, the woman grabbed a pistol that the couple kept in the apartment, Legg said. She fired at least two shots, wounding both men.

Freeman fled and collapsed as he ran down the stairs leading to the apartment, investigators said. The woman's husband was treated at a hospital for a wound in one arm, authorities said.

Detectives are still questioning a woman they found waiting in a car nearby.

Sheriff's officials said there is no apparent connection between Freeman
and the couple.

I guess it all depends on how much their TV was worth. There are some
huge flatscreens that might be worth suffering a "fleshwound"
depending on your point of view.

If it had been right before the Super Bowl, you would have to factor that
in also...

Something like this:

Probably a bit out of their league since I believe that the article said
that they were in an apartment...
