A Virginia homeowner shot a naked woman in the leg after she allegedly broke into his home and attacked him with a frying pan.
On February 26, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to reports of a shooting on Loafers Rest Road in Austinsville and discovered a naked woman named Paula Michelle Locklear, 35, with a gunshot wound to the leg.
“During the investigation, deputies determined that the shooting resulted from a breaking,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post on Sunday. “The homeowner, who heard a noise in the back of the house, went to the kitchen and observed an unclothed female, who was unknown to the homeowner, coming into the back door, at which time [she] began hitting the homeowner in the head with a cast iron fry pan.”

The victim eventually kicked Locklear out of his house and locked the door behind him.
Locklear allegedly then went onto the homeowner’s back porch and “began turning off all the electrical breakers to the home and began beating on the kitchen window,” according to the sheriff’s office.
According to authorities, she yelled at the victim to “get out of her house, or she was going to kill him” and began beating on the victim’s door, at which point he discharged a firearm and shot Locklear in the leg.
Locklear was charged with felony breaking while armed, assault and battery, and property damage in Virginia.
The naked woman, 35, is being held without bond in Carroll County General District Court pending her arraignment.
After Carroll County Commonwealth Attorney Roger Brooks determined that the homeowner acted in self-defense, he was not charged for any case.
