there have been many cases even in the US where an intruder has been shot and the resident charged, but they always have muddy circumstances. this is as clear cut self defense as i can ever remember reading about, so no way does the woman get charged if this happened in Canada. called 9/11 first, explained the situation, held tight until the intruder broke through a locked door, then she used lethal force as a last resort. i can't see how that gets charged in any reasonable democratic country
