Breaking into someone’s home is always a bad decision. In Des Moines this week, it ended with gunfire and a felony charge.
According to KCCI, police say 46-year-old Stannita Wilson forced her way into a home on Guthrie Avenue just before 11 p.m. Officers were dispatched after a caller reported that an intruder was actively attacking the homeowner.
While officers were en route, dispatch was told the intruder had been shot.
When police arrived, they found Wilson inside the residence suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was transported to a local hospital with what authorities described as minor injuries and was later released.
Wilson is now charged with second-degree burglary.
As of now, no charges have been filed against the homeowner.
Police have not released additional details about what led to the forced entry, but the basic outline is clear: someone allegedly broke into an occupied home, an altercation occurred, and the homeowner responded with a firearm.
Defensive gun uses don’t always dominate headlines, but they happen every day. In this case, the alleged aggressor is the one facing criminal charges.
For Stannita Wilson, what reportedly began as a forced entry ended with gunshot wounds and a felony.
For the homeowner, it appears—at least for now—the law is recognizing the difference between criminal conduct and self-defense.
Self-defense doesn’t end when the threat goes down. That’s when the real battle begins. Lawyers. Prosecutors. Headlines. USCCA Members never fight that battle alone. Find out how.
