My wife would in no way open the door before I gave the go-ahead. Whether it was late or not. Just glad BG got his and not the guy's gf. Thoughts?

MANATEE COUNTY – A Bradenton man reportedly shot an intruder who was holding a gun to his girlfriend’s head just before 2 a.m. Thursday in their south Manatee home, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said.
A 52-year-old male resident retrieved his handgun after someone knocked at the door, but his girlfriend opened it before he returned, according to a report.
The resident said a man forced his way into the home in the 6500 block of Wellesley Drive and pressed a gun against his 47-year-old girlfriend’s head.
The woman told authorities two men pushed through the door, and one of the men held the gun to her head.
The resident then shot at the men, striking one, and the intruders fled, according to a report.
Sarasota authorities later notified Manatee deputies of a gunshot victim in the hospital. Deputies have not determined if the man, who had a small-caliber wound to his hand, is a suspect in the home invasion.
