17-year old girl shoots at intruder trying to get in through doggie door

A 17-year old girl in Glendale, Arizona, was at home when she noticed a man trying to get into the home via the doggie door.  She then fired at the intruder with a gun, scaring him away.

From the article:

The 17-year-old told police she heard her door bell ring but did not answer.

A short time later, she heard someone go over her gate to the backyard. She then saw a younger man reach through the home’s doggie door and attempt to unlock the latch, Coombs said.

The 17-year-old armed herself and fired a shot at the doggie door, Coombs said. The suspect fled, although it’s unknown if he was injured, Coombs said.
