A gang of burglars paid a heavy price for breaking into an apartment in Philadelphia when a female resident opened fire, sending at least two suspects to the hospital, according to reports.

The harrowing incident unfolded at around 1 a.m. on Sunday in the Germantown neighborhood of the City of Brotherly Love.

A woman arrived at her residence and found four male suspects had forced entry, authorities say.

During an ensuing confrontation, the woman drew a firearm and shot at least two of the suspects.

“When police arrived at the scene they found one of the suspects, later identified as 48-year-old Jermaine Parker, on the ground and suffering from gunshot wounds to his right leg and right arm. He was taken to the hospital for treatment,” NBC Philadelphia reports.

A short time later, officers located 45-year-old Randy Miller on a nearby street.

He had sustained a gunshot wound to the back and was rushed to hospital in critical condition.

The other two suspects were still on the loose as of Sunday night, according to updates.

Investigators say the woman acted in self defense and she is not currently facing any charges.

Infowars has been reporting on the surge of crime in many U.S. cities.

We must not allow our emotions to blind us from logic and reason.
