Drunk Boulder woman shot after entering wrong house.

I bet you that seeing how hot she was the wife did pull the trigger.... Then blamed the husband!

My favorite line from the DA; "We see this pretty frequently." Apparently a similar home intrusion happened on Thursday. Boulder is really a happening place. Bar hopping to house hopping. Alcohol is a mind altering substance.

Be safe.

This situation (sort of - without the shooting) happened to a old neighbor of mine. I live in a older neighborhood so a lot of these houses are rentals for college students near CSU. Anyway, a college party was going on down the street, a guy got so drunk he just walked in to my neighbors house (roughly in his 70's) and fell asleep on the couch. My neighbor didn't shoot him and I'm not so sure he even knew he got in. The ambulance and officers came in the morning and took him away. Could have been a lot worse I suppose (for both parties).

They're charging her with criminal trespassing.

Oh man.. the guy should say he was in his boxers and felt violated.

Medical bills and a criminal record. Mom and Dad will be so proud. I hope she has a good summer job to pay the bills. I am actually glad that no one was seriously injured and that the justice system worked correctly.

Interesting how the DC goes to great lengths to humanize the "ultra-perky" blonde. How "out of it" do you have to be to ignore people yelling at you?

What was Rule #4 again?

Not a good situation and I'm betting it will get worse.

Pump her full of iron!

I know you are supposed to identify your target first but I may have shot in the same situation.

The Denver CBS affiliate reports that the wife realized the intruder was not a raccoon when their bedroom door opened in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. They yelled and warned for the intruder to leave. When the person continued toward them, the husband fired a shot.

When the lights were flipped on, it revealed a woman unknown to them.

Boulder folks are some strange people...

Find one person registering a .2% (not .02, but .2) that isn't a little odd. I'm not going to argue that this town has it's share of oddity but completely drunk 21 year olds have a whole lot in common, be it Boulder, Hamburg, or Tokyo.

The target was correctly identified. An unknown intruder in their home.
