FRIENDSWOOD, Texas -- Police said a woman shot at an intruder, scaring him directly through a glass door.

Officers with the Friendswood Police Department said they responded to a residence in the 400 block of Regency Court after a homeowner shot at a man that had broken into her home. The woman said that at about 11:15 a.m. on April 12, she awoke to a loud noise followed by her alarm system sounding. She then heard footsteps going up to her second floor.

The woman said she grabbed her pistol and walked into the living room where she saw a man standing in her house. She fired a shot in the man's direction, which sent him running through -- and shattering -- a glass door as he fled the scene.

The homeowner was not hurt.

4. Hopefully dude will look

for a new line of work. That is a pretty good wake up call. Glad no one died.

And yes a person ignoring an alarm system in your home more than meets the criteria for a defensive shooting.

Better luck next time, lady.

Hanging around, like that, with the alarm going off.
