It would seem like the perfect situation for a convicted sex offender on the prowl.
A woman home alone in the middle of the afternoon. And a suspect with a residence on the same block, an extensive criminal record and no respect for the law.
Unfortunately, Jayson Magrum hadn’t counted on one thing: a modern descendant of Samuel Colt’s legendary equalizer.
According to the Arizona Daily Star, the 42-year-old Magrum was shot and killed on Aug. 11 after he attempted to break into a home in a rural area 30 miles outside of Tucson, Arizona.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said the man had attempted to break into the Three Points house where 54-year-old Sandra Tracy was at home alone.
KSAZ-TV reported that Tracy yelled at Magrum, telling him to leave.
That didn’t work, however — so she grabbed her handgun and fired a warning shot out of a window, deputies said.
That didn’t work, either — and Magrum reportedly tried to reach inside the window and grab the gun.
The next round wasn’t a warning shot. Instead, it hit and ended up killing Magrum.
