Mom Finds Old Stranger In Her Child`s Room And Shoots Him Dead
Portland Police are investigating an incident where a Mother of 2, allegedly shot and killed an intruder she found in one of her children’s bedroom early hours of Sunday morning.
The woman, Tara-Alexis Ford, was returning home with her two children, aged 5 and 10, when she noticed the man inside her home.
She allegedly used her handgun and shot the male intruder.
The Portland Police Bureau released a statement which said:
“On Sunday June 26, 2016, at 1:47 a.m., East Precinct officers responded to a residence in the 4100 block of Southeast 118th Place on the report that a homeowner shot someone inside her home”
“Officers and medical personnel arrived and contacted the homeowner, who directed them inside the home. Inside the home, officers found a deceased male.”
The Portland Police have confirmed that the suspect who was killed early Sunday morning, has been identified as 59-year-old David Daniel McCrary of Gresham.
There is no known connection between Ford and McCrary.
Police also confirmed that McCrary had no significant criminal history but he may have been struggling with mental issues recently.
According to detectives, McCrary broke into Ford’s home through a back window.
The shooting occurred in Ford’s 10-year-old daughter’s bedroom, the same room she had found McCrary in. The children were in the home at the time of the shooting but were in a different bedroom.
Ford has not been arrested and the Portland Police Bureau posted an updated report regarding the incident on its website that said:
“Ms. Ford remains cooperative with detectives and the case will be reviewed by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. Ms. Ford is asking for privacy and does not want any media contact.”

Good for mom . One less pedophile
Louise Delaney-Joyce
June 30, 2016 at 10:40 pm
He broke in there is no sign of him being a pedophile. Just because he was found in her room doesn’t mean he had intent to do anything. If a robber is trying to flee, they get out wherever they can.
Louise Delaney-Joyce
June 30, 2016 at 10:41 pm
Don’t get me wrong I am not condoning his behaviour at all. But putting a label on a person like that without proof is not nice.

June 30, 2016 at 10:53 pm
Louise Delaney-Joyce maybe not a pedophile but had still broken into the house and as a mother, I’d probably have done the same. I would never wait to see what happened. Unfortunately he ended up dead but she was protecting her family.

Youre an idiot!! Cant believe there are people out there who think like you!!!you are just too much of a pussy and coward to touch a gun and protect your family! Yes thats the full purpose of owning a gun to protect and not pull trigger unless your live or your love ones lives are in danger!! you rather wait to see if that person rapes or who knows what he will do and then call the cops which they will get there an hour after!! Good thinking!

Man, on one hand, I would have done the same thing as that mother. I do think she did the right thing protecting her child first. But on the other hand, it is a sad and traumatizing thing that happened since she KILLED someone, even with good reason, and it scares me how many people seem to have already judged that the man deserved to die in these comments :-/ I hope the mom and kid are doing okay.

Omg it’s so terrifying, I don’t know how I will act in this situation, but I’m sure it was hard for her to shoot him but when you have kids and you’re alone you can’t take a chance specially these days which are not secure and save and lots of insane people out there killing and torturing others
