I had to chuckle when I saw this story on CNN today...
Police: Nurse, 51, kills intruder with bare hands
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said. Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor's house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey 59, a convicted felon with a long police record.
Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size -- 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage.
MAY have given her an advantage? Chalk one up for the big girls!!!
**Note: I do not enjoy or condone killing of any kind. I can understand true self-defence, however.
