Charlotte Maughan was too flustered to find her gun, so she grabbed her husband's.

“It's a 9 mm,” she said. “I had said to him, ‘We need to go to the range and let me practice with this gun.' I didn't know if I could shoot it. Well, I can.”

She walked out of her southwest Oklahoma City home, told the crowd to step back and shot and killed two dogs attacking her family's dog.

“I didn't know what else to do,” she said.
