PORTLAND, Ore. -- A mother who returned to her Portland home with her two children early Sunday morning shot and killed an intruder who was inside.

Tara-Alexis Ford, 33, found a stranger in one of her children's bedrooms inside her home in the 4100 block of Southeast 118th Place at about 1:45 a.m. Armed with a handgun, she shot and killed the man, who has been identified as David Daniel McCrary, 59, from Gresham.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner determined that McCrary died of a single gunshot wound.

Play with fire, get burned.

Another one bites the dust! Come on down David Daniel McCrary to pick up your Darwin Award.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

It being liberal Oregon and all, how long will it take for them to decide about filing charges against the woman or for the family to sue her?

Two things ... the street she lives on is about 6 miles from Gresham, though US 26 goes through Gresham and near her home. I don't think the deceased got confused and was simply on the wrong block. Second, the street her home is on is very short - getting within a couple of houses of hers just using Google Maps would be very easy. Even publishing the name of her street was very irresponsible, given how bat-@#$% crazy some gun-haters are!
