Women fight off attackers
Women fought off attackers in a pair of overnight incidents in Charlotte, in one case firing shots at an intruder.
The first took place shortly after midnight in the 5100 block of Eaton Circle, off Morris Field Drive near Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.
Police say a woman was asleep when she was awakened by a man who had forced his way into her home.
The man cut the woman with a knife, but she responded by grabbing a gun near her bed and firing at the intruder. She failed to hit the man, but he ran out of the house and fled.
The woman said the intruder stole some of her property.
The victim was treated for the knife wound at Presbyterian Hospital.
