Kelly McGillis’ Home Invasion

McGillis, 58, had returned home from a theology lecture last week when she noticed a few things amiss at her North Carolina home – namely a light on in the bathroom and the front door unlocked. She soon realized that there was a female intruder in her home along with the woman’s young daughter.

“Upon entering the house I notice a pair of girls pink sandals and a black larger pair. I thought that maybe one of [my] daughters was here because one of them has a key,” McGillis wrote. “Called out hello several times. I was trying to get rid of the stuff in my hand to better assess what was going on when a stranger, a woman, came barreling down the hallway and began yelling at me. I asked her who she is and why she was in my house and she said ‘you know why you’ve been stalking me in Twitter.’ Not true. At that moment I got worried that there may be someone else in the house with house with her.”

McGillis added, “We have quite a few guns and lots of ammo and that’s when I started to panic. Thinking that if they have one of them I could be shot. I ran out the front door and called 911. She ran out after me and began punching and scratching my trying to grab the phone out of my hand. I began screaming as loud as I could hoping someone somewhere might hear me. I still had my car keys in my hand so I set off the car alarm. That distracted her enough to throw the cell and try to deal with the keys. More fighting ensued. I got the cell phone back and dialed 911 again. More fighting.”

Eventually, McGillis managed to escape the intruder, who was ultimately apprehended by police.

“I finally broke away, got in the truck and drove off trying to find a neighbor to call 911. There was no one around since it was Friday night, so I chased someone in a car, kept flashing my lights and honking the horn. They finally pulled over and she made the 911 call for me,” McGillis wrote. “A truly good Samaritan. Dispatch told me to wait there for there for someone to arrive. Too shorten this ever long story. She was apprehended. I’m alright. Scratched and bruise. I feel very thankful it turned out well. But who I feel heartache for is the little girl that was with her. Mental illness takes many hostages. I don’t know her name…but I would like to asked that you pray for her and her mother.”

The intruder was Laurence Marie Dorn, 38, according to Fox News. She has been charged with second-degree burglary, misdemeanor larceny, misdemeanor stalking, assault and battery and interfering with emergency communication. She is being held on $60,000 bond.
