Aleah Wallace, 25, was at her home with her four daughters when she heard someone trying to enter the home. The sound came from her 8-year-old daughter’s room. Wallace proceeded to investigate, then saw the individual outside trying to break in through the window. She reached out and touched him with some rounds. The person that she shot was Devin Baker, 14, who died at the scene. Wallace subsequently faced eviction due to her subsidized housing’s weapons policy.<\/p>\n

Aleah Wallace, 25, said she was cleaning her living room when she heard someone, identified as 14-year-old Devin Baker, attempting to break into her rental home around 3 a.m. on Dec. 14, according to Fox 4.<\/p>\n

“I went, and I stood in the hallway. And I could see him standing at the window, lifting it up. I just shot,” Wallace told the outlet.<\/p>\n

It was the second time Wallace’s house was targeted by burglars in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The teen allegedly tried to sneak through Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter’s window, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

Baker, who also lived with his family at the apartment complex, died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

The concerned mother shared she had recently purchased a gun to protect her family after she had four attempted burglaries before the shooting.<\/p>\n

“I have four daughters. It’s just me and my four daughters that stay there. I just was protecting my daughters,” Wallace said.<\/p>\n

The remorseful mother says she’s “devastated that he was 14,” but “I had to think about my babies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
