WPLG in Miami is hoping viewers can help identify a burglar who was caught on surveillance video attempting to break into a home — and then taking off in a hurry after being confronted by a mother of two wielding a shotgun.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, was at home with her children, ages 10 and 3.

The burglar quickly realized that he was in serious trouble after making it inside the home.
“He was running for his life and kept looking back, making sure I wasn’t going to shoot him in the back,” the woman said.
