Man being held for raping and murdering a 69yo woman last year overpowered a guard with a shank and escaped. He entered a residential garage where a man and possibly his son were, taking them hostage and entering the house where he also took the wife hostage, tying up the adults (apparently - stories differ as to exactly who was tied). While tying up the husband the husband broke free and was stabbed in the shoulder. The intruder retied the husband. The wife was taken to a bathroom - somehow she was able to go to a bedroom, retrieve a handgun, and come back and shoot the escapee, who retreated to the bathroom. She untied her husband, who took the handgun to the bathroom and shot the intruder again. Not sure which shots he died from, but the intruder is dead.
Unsourced scuttlebutt on another forum says the intruder told the wife he was going to rape her and make her shower afterwards, and when she laid down on a bed she was able to retrieve the handgun. She shot the thug once, the gun jammed, and the thug ran into the bathroom. She untied husband, he got the gun unjammed and went after the thug in the bathroom. As I said, no real source to this, but it makes sense of the news story details.
Whatever the details, good on the family and prayers for their recovery. Good riddance to the thug.
