A yoga teacher from Texas shot and killed two home invaders as they allegedly attempted to rob her in her residence just north of Santiago, Chile, police said on Friday.
Hari Nam Kaur Khalsa, 61, was in her bedroom in her Batuco home on Thursday when four men entered the room and hit her in the head with a firearm.
The men tried to tie her up but Khalsa was able to free herself and grabbed her registered Taurus model revolver beneath her pillow.
She shot two of the men and the two others escaped.
None of the men’s identities have been released.
One man died after being shot five times. The other died of his injuries in the front yard. Hearing the gunshots upstairs caused the two men downstairs to flee the premises.
Prosecutor Osvaldo Soto said Friday the instructor is free because she acted in legitimate self-defense.
But he said that authorities have requested a security escort because ‘we fear that she might suffer some sort of reprisal’.
