It was likely a Beretta Jetfire .25, also designated a model 950.
According to the Miami Police Department, burglars attempted to enter her home at 6060 N.W. 2nd St., around 10:30 p.m., Tuesday night. After kicking in the door, Orms fired her .25 caliber baretta pistol into the door from inside, sending the burglars running off. “He never made it in,” said a responding Miami Police officer.
Shocked neighbors have since stepped up and helped Orms with repairs on her door. “I saw the police on the corner, but I didn't see what was going on,” said neighbor Gladys Betancourt. “That was awesome though.”
Officials said that bullet didn't go through the door, or this story may have ended with an attempted burglary and death investigation.
