Nice! We had something like that up here a few years ago.
"A Boulder County couple beat and stabbed a masked man to death after he showed up at their front door late Monday with a fake gun. Becci Starr, 59, and Scott Mattes, 56, told sheriff's investigators the doorbell of their home in Sunshine Canyon rang around 10:25 p.m.
Starr answered the door after the man yelled "Boulder County police" and he tried to force his way in, sheriff's Lt. Phil West said.
"She screamed, and the fight was on," he said.
The man, who has not yet been identified, was dead when police arrived. Sheriff's investigators do not expect to charge the couple, who gave the following account:
Starr grabbed a baseball bat, which she has kept by her front door for 26 years, and hit the intruder. The man dropped the fake gun and grabbed a knife as Starr beat him with the bat.
Mattes heard the commotion and rushed to his wife's aid. He tackled the intruder, wrested the knife from his hands and stabbed him. Starr continued to hit the man with the bat to subdue him.
Once it became apparent the man was no longer a threat, Mattes attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while Starr called 911.
Police arrived at the home, 135 Poorman Road, about 10 minutes later and found the man dead on the front steps outside the house.
West would not specify where he was stabbed or how many times."
