Texas mom taking care of 8-year-old son spots crook trying to enter her home — and she opens fire. Threat neutralized.

It's always risky to roll up on a mom taking care of her young child, unless those up to no good enjoy tangling with Mama Bear.

And in this case, the mom had a gun.

What are the details?

Police in Sugar Land, Texas, said a woman was inside her home with her 8-year-old son around 5 a.m. Friday and heard a noise downstairs, KTRK-TV reported.
When she checked on the noise, the woman saw a man trying to get into her home through a window, police told the station.
With that, Mama Bear took action in a big way.

Police said she fired a gun once and hit the suspect in the chest, KTRK reported.
