A Kentucky woman says she came home to find her front door kicked in and two men robbing her house.

So she did the only thing she could think of.

She pulled out her gun and called 911.

"They picked the wrong house."

Donna Dedas says her Mother's Day ended abruptly when she came home from dinner to find her front door kicked in, her house ransacked and two men, James Brewer and Larry Tedrow, inside.

"I heard them say 'get to the truck' and I yelled at them," Dedas recalled.

She remembers the two men jumping into their truck which Dedas blocked in with her's, but that didn't stop them.

"They just rammed it, they must of hit my truck three or four times," she described.

Then Dedas did the only thing she could think of to stop the burglars.

"All I remember is standing at the back door and trying to dial 911, take the safety off the gun," she exclaimed.

"I fired at the ground. I fired a warning shot and told him to stop."

She fired, not knowing Brewer and Tedrow had a .357 Magnum - twice as powerful as her .25 caliber pistol.

"I think if he had pulled out that gun and pulled it out fast, we may not be talking today, but if he pulled it out and I had a chance, I wouldn't have hesitated," stated Dedas.

But police say trying to peel out of Dedas's driveway, the men got stuck in the mud and had no other choice but to flee on foot.

After calling police, Dedas noticed the men dropped this jewelry in her driveway and also noticed her freezer door was open.

"We've been working several burglaries where meat is being stolen out of freezers," explained Lt. Scotty McGaha, of the Bullitt Co. Sheriff's Dept.

Lt. McGaha has seen the pattern at 14 or 15 unsolved burglaries, and believes the men are selling the meat to make a quick buck.

Police were also able to recover a computer, hundreds of dollars in cash and jewelry from other break-ins.

McGaha says Brewer and Tedrow were caught just two miles from Dedas's house.

They are now behind bars, which is exactly where Dedas believes they belong.

"This is my home," she declared.

"I work hard for what little I got, and I don't think they have a right to take their foot and smash in my front door."

Even though Dedas got some of her jewelry back, a pearl necklace her daughter was going to wear in her upcoming wedding is still missing.

Both men are facing charges of burglary and theft by unlawful taking.
