Pregnant woman shoots attacker

Minneapolis, Star Tribune, April 8, 2007

"She had to do it," was the response of shoppers after a St. Paul convenience store owner's wife shot and wounded a female assailant. . . .

Khalil said his wife, Susana Khalil, who is eight months pregnant, and their 2½-year-old daughter were visiting the Super USA store at 1198 Earl St. Susana normally doesn't work there, Khalil said.

The female robbery suspect pretended to have a gun concealed in a paper bag, police said, and she got into a scuffle with Susana Khalil. During the scuffle, Susana Khalil shot the woman, and the bullet entered the side of the suspect's chest and exited near her collarbone, police said. . . .
