A Nevada woman shot her stalker last week after she woke up to the sounds of him breaking into her house.
The unnamed woman told reporters she briefly dated 27-year-old Douglas Eugene Jackson. After they broke up, he began stalking her, sending her death threats and showing up at her house.
She obtained a restraining order and a concealed weapon permit but apparently still didn't feel safe—she told police she had been sleeping with a chair in front of her door to prevent him from entering.
She reportedly shot him as he broke into her Las Vegas home at 1 am on Sept. 26.
According to the NYDN, she later posted a photo of the front door with a caption describing the break-in to imgur, writing "I stood at the top of my stairs and fired twice. Hitting him in the chest, I hear his scream, his disbelief that I'd stood up for myself … 0 to 100 in milliseconds."
Jackson was treated for his injuries and faces home invasion and aggravated stalking charges.
