At that moment she notices a figure walking quietly down the hallway. Without waiting, Brenda fires a shot at the figure. A voice cries out, "Don't shoot! It is me Mike. I came home early." Brenda turns on the light to discover that she has shot Mike in the hand. She calls 9-1-1. In a few minutes an ambulance and a police officer arrive. Mike is taken to the hospital while the police officer interviews Brenda. As to Brenda's shooting of Mike: A) Brenda was legally obligated to warn the intruder before discharging the pistol.
