CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- A Cape Girardeau mother with a gun is being credited
with stopping the attempted rape of her daughter.

The Southeast Missourian reports that 51-year-old Craig Kizer faces a variety
of charges, including attempted rape, armed criminal action and burglary. He
has no known address and did not have an attorney.

Police say Kizer had been working on the family's home as part of a renovation
project, but was not staying there. The teen was in bed around 5:30 a.m. Sunday
when Kizer came into her room with a knife and climbed on top of her.

When he set the knife down on the bed, the teen grabbed it and screamed.

The girl's mother came into the room with a gun, pointed it at the suspect and
ordered him out of the house. Police later arrested him.

The only thing I can think of is that either the gun wasn't in a condition to fire or that this man was confronted with one of the rarest forms of compassion when committing a horrible offense.

yuppie...nope you'd be ok...cause you're supposed to shoot to stop the threat...the last shot was because he started moving [twitching] so the threat there-in hadn't stopped yet. :dude:
