A former beauty queen fatally shot a home intruder in Florida:
[Ex-convict Albert Franklin Hill, 42] barged into the home at around 3 a.m. after [2009 Miss Tierra Verde, Meghan Brown, 25] responded to a knock at the front door, according to a police report. He allegedly grabbed the 110-pound Brown around her nose and mouth and dragged her to an upstairs bedroom.
The woman’s fiance, ["arborist" Robert Planthaber, 42] said in an interview that he was quickly awakened by the altercation and ran to Brown’s side.
“I attacked him and took a severe beating to the head,” Planthaber told FoxNews.com. “But I got him off of her long enough for her to scramble to the room where she keeps her pink .38 special.”
Brown got her gun from a nearby bedroom and shot Hill in the chest, groin, thigh, and back; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Panthaber loudly claims they were targeted because of their wealth:
“We live in a very prominent area and my fiancee wears a $60,000 engagement ring,” he said. “The pizza man knew we had money because sometimes we needed change for a $100 bill when he came to deliver pizza.”
