In a shocking incident that unfolded live on social media, a Memphis mother shot an intruder who kicked down her door in a brazen attempt to confront her. The chaotic scene, which occurred late Wednesday night, has left the community reeling and raises urgent questions about safety and self-defense.
Around 10 p.m. on Autumn Harvest Lane, Kamari Burnham, along with two accomplices, forcefully entered the home of a woman who was inside with her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the group was intent on provoking a fight, disregarding the homeowner’s pleas to leave. In a moment of desperation, the mother, fearing for her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s safety, fired a single shot, striking Burnham, who is now hospitalized in non-critical condition.
