A 70-year-old Florida woman said she and her husband fired warning shots after discovering a stranger in their Orlando home on Sunday, before fatally shooting him.
Fox 35 WESH reports:
"He stepped in, and I turned around, and I said ‘who the hell are you? What do you want?’ Nothing. This guy never said a word the whole time he was here," said Virginia Morrison, 70, who lives at the home with her partner.
Morrison told FOX 35 News in an interview on Monday that she tried to hit the man with a broom, but he would swat it away. She said her partner went to get his gun and fired a warning shot, but the man would not leave.
She retrieved her gun and went to the background, where the man allegedly walked toward her.
"He started coming toward me and I fired a shot above him. ‘Back off dude!’" Morrison said, "and he just kept coming toward me. So I just lowered my gun and shot him."
Deputies transported 38-year-old Ezequiel Rosario-Torres to the hospital where he died.

"I didn’t know what he was going to do, but I knew I was going to protect myself. I’m a fighter. I’m going to defend myself," Morrison said.
Authorities have not yet determined if Morrison will face any charges in the incident.
