You probably never heard of Feng Zhu Chen, but she is a great American. She works in the restaurant business and was living in Gwinnett County, Georgia. In the wee hours of Sept. 16, 2016, her roommate heard noises and awakened Chen, who grabbed her 9mm pistol and confronted three armed intruders. She opened fire, fatally wounding one of bad guys — Antonio Leeks, 28 — and sending the other two running for their lives.

The whole thing was caught on surveillance video, and one of the criminals ran through a glass door in his haste to escape.

Earlier this year, Gwinnett police arrested another suspect:

Bernard Eugene Little, 35, was arrested on March 29 and charged with felony murder and armed robbery for the Sept. 16, 2016 home invasion on Spring Drive, which occurred near the DeKalb County line in unincorporated Gwinnett County.

Police said Wednesday that though Little did not pulled the trigger — a woman who was staying in the burglarized home shot 28-year-old Atlanta resident Antonio Leeks after he, Little and one other man entered her home with guns at around 4 a.m. — Georgia law states that “a person commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he or she causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.”

While the third suspect has yet to be identified, the arrest comes as a win for detectives, who previously deemed the suspects to be “armed and dangerous.”

Imagine that: You and buddies decide to do a home invasion, your buddy gets shot to death and you escape, but you’re charged with murder for being an accomplice in a crime that caused his death.

Don’t mess with Feng Zhu Chen.
