A woman says she heard her husband load his gun in the closet at 6:30 AM and say someone was outside, then 911 sent police to the wrong city

A woman who goes by @janabailey3 on TikTok has shared her account of June 10, 2018, when she says her husband confronted an intruder on their property and she heard gunfire, according to the Daily Dot. Her video has been viewed over five million times. She says her husband died that morning and that the intruder also died. Her husband is not named in coverage of the video.

According to her account, the morning began around 6:30 a.m., when the couple’s dog started barking and she saw her husband walk into the bedroom. She says he went into the closet, and she could hear him loading a firearm. When he came out, she says, he told her that someone was outside, and the dog kept barking.

She says she rushed to the window that faced their backyard but could not see anything because of condensation on the glass. The couple was digging a pond at the time, so she assumed someone had come for the equipment and that her husband would tell the person to leave the property.

She says she heard her husband shout at the intruder right before the gunfire started

She says she then heard her husband shout, “What the f— are you doing here?” Immediately afterward, she says, there was a flurry of gunfire. She reached for her phone to call 911, and her dog ran into the bedroom, so she locked the door behind her while she tried to get help.

She says emergency services had trouble locating the property, and that the address she gave led police to a different city. In her telling, that left her and her husband effectively on their own. The claim about the address comes only from her video, and coverage of the video included no police statement.

She says she decided she would rather be beside her husband than alone in the closet, so she left the bedroom and ran into the backyard, where she found a trail of blood. She followed it and says she found that her husband had already died. She stayed with him while she was on the phone with police until officers arrived, according to her account.

She says the intruder also died in the confrontation, and that a few days later she was told he was originally from Tupelo, Mississippi. Her children were away that morning, she says, and she later moved to another property. The details about the intruder’s identity and hometown, however, come only from her account.

Home intrusion stories have drawn attention in other viral posts, including a man caught on doorbell camera who pounded on a door, ripped off the camera and asked about the daughter inside before finding another way in. That case, however, involved doorbell footage, while this account comes from a woman’s own memory of the morning.

The caption says she is doing her best to explain what happened on June 10, 2018, and the hashtags describe the video as true crime story time content. She tells the story in the first person to her followers, and neither the video nor the coverage of it cites a police report or court record about the incident.

The video remains on TikTok, and coverage so far has not included a police statement or other official confirmation of the events she describes.
