CNN has the 911 tape recording online.
I've always been an advocate of the shotgun as a home defense weapon. It is handy, easy to use, accuracy is not a requirement, and it has little risk of over-penetration. As this woman demonstrated, it can also be used while talking on the phone to 911.
And I'm a huge fan of the 16 gauge! The 16 is a nice compromise between the 20, which is way underpowered for self-defense in my opinion, and the 12, which is fine but can be too much for some people - too much muzzle blast, too much kick. The 16 is just a fine, fine, weapon. Too bad it is out of favor these days.

.leadp { font-size:14px; color:#626466; } An intruder who broke into a Lincoln County woman's home was killed early Friday when the woman armed herself and shot him.
Donna Jackson, 57, was asleep when she heard Billy Dean Riley pounding on her back door about 12:45 a.m., Sheriff Chuck Mangion said.
While on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, Jackson went to investigate and Riley tossed a patio table through the glass door before coming inside. She fired one blast from a 16-gauge shotgun, hitting him in the chest, Mangion said.
