Elderly Florida woman shoots armed intruder dead at 3 am: 'Decisive action stopped the threat'
Reginald Best, 64, died from the single gunshot wound at a nearby hospital
An armed intruder in Florida is dead after barging into a home this week and being shot by an elderly woman who was armed herself.
In a Facebook post, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said that 64-year-old Reginald Best of Interlachen, Florida was killed after he stormed into the home of a 67-year-old woman at gunpoint early Wednesday morning.
The woman said that she heard the door handle of her home shaking at around 3 a.m. and thought it was her husband coming home from work so she got up and opened the door. At that point, authorities say Best barged in with a gun in hand.
