Listened to the family's press conference. She did have her Concealed Carry license but the family did not state where that gun was or was not. They left the door open earlier in the evening to let the cool air in from the cold front. She was living in the house with her mother who was sick, mom is currently in the hospital after a recent medical emergency, she's in failing health. Neighbor called the non-emergency line to check on the occupants because he wasn't sure if mom had gotten released from the hospital and maybe had another medical emergency and maybe that's why the door was open. She was a gamer who often played with her nephew. They were playing call of duty when they heard noises. She made sure to tell her nephew not to go to the window, she went instead. It was mentioned that they sent a sort of swat unit to the house, not a couple of guys on patrol to knock on the door. That this po was a rookie on elite unit.
