Medical Forum / General / General / September 2006Police: Nurse, 51, kills intruder with bare hands
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/08/nurse.intruder.ap/index.html September 8, 2006 Police: Nurse, 51, kills intruder with bare hands PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said. Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor's house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey 59, a convicted felon with a long police record. Police said there was no obvious sign of forced entry at the house when Kuhnhausen, an emergency room nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center, got home from work shortly after 6 p.m. Under Oregon law people can use reasonable deadly force when defending themselves against an intruder or burglar in their homes. Kuhnhausen was treated and released for minor injuries at Providence. Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size -- 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage. "Everyone that I've talked to says 'Hurray for Susan,' said neighbor Annie Warnock, who called 911. "You didn't need to calm her. She's an emergency room nurse. She's used to dealing with crisis." > http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/08/nurse.intruder.ap/index.html > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > "You didn't need to calm her. She's an emergency room nurse.

I guess the bitter boys on this ng are getting a taste of CA's 'castle law' ...but this time from OR. :-) :-) >> http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/08/nurse.intruder.ap/index.html >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> possession of burglary tools.

(One of the benefits of growing up on a farm.) LOL!

Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size -- > 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage. In the real world, unarmed victims LOSE BIG - even if the felon attacking them doesn't have a gun. Look at Nicole Brown Simpson for the typical example. That this particular nurse was lucky enough to not end up the next Nicole Brown Simpson is like saying you shouldn't get a smoke detector for your house because some sleeping guy in Oregon made it out of a burning house without one.

I own a Makarov 9mm and a 12 gauge sawed of shotgun my father gave me. And I am a very "stable" shooter.

Thank God she didn't use a gun! Someone could have gotten hurt! |
