Nurse strangles intruder with her bare hands Police say action was self-defense against felon armed with hammer

PORTLAND, Ore. - A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said.

Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor?s house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey, 59, a convicted felon with a long police record.

Officer Katherine Kent said homicide detectives have determined that Kuhnhausen killed Haffey in self-defense. She said a prosecutor is investigating but that the case is not expected to go to a grand jury. Story continues below ? advertisement

Police said there was no obvious sign of forced entry at the house when Kuhnhausen, an emergency room nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center, got home from work shortly after 6 p.m.

Under Oregon law people can use reasonable deadly force when defending themselves against an intruder or burglar in their homes. Kuhnhausen was treated and released for minor injuries at Providence.

Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen?s size ?

5-foot-7 and 260 pounds ? may have given her an advantage.

?Everyone that I?ve talked to says ?Hurray for Susan,? said neighbor Annie Warnock, who called 911. ?You didn?t need to calm her. She?s an emergency room nurse. She?s used to dealing with crisis.?

Good one!

Maybe we should start featuring these types of stories on our VOA Arabic propaganda broadcasts, stressing this is how most Americans are, and President Bush and the State Department may not be able to contain them much longer, now that the beserker season is starting.

So, Unka George, are a student of ancient Celt history?

The ancient Romans gave the name "beserker" to the Celtic army when the Celts stripped off all their clothes, began to chant and dance themselves into a mental state where they were somewhat insane. Their white skin turned red is with heat and then they attacked the Romans.

The Romans beat them off, and then the Celtic women went through the same ritual and kicked the Roman ass all the way to Rome and took the city.

Mus be some metal working here somewhere.

She evidently needs the practice. She only winged the guy in the elbow, now we have to feed and house the bastard in prison for 3-5 yrs. She needed to double tap the scumbag twice center of mass.

And probably have to replace his elbow if they can save the arm.

But kudos to her anyways.

Double tap to center of mass followed by one to the forehead in case he was wearing body armor ;)
