Here is a story I wish didn't have to be reported. A Wisconsin student dialed 911 after someone broke into her apartment. According to the story, 911 didn't take her seriously. She was subsequently killed.
Since she was 21, I assume she was able to own a rifle or handgun. It's unfortunate she depended on 911 instead of herself. I hope they find the killer and punish him/her appropriately.

MADISON, Wis. — A college student apparently called 911 from her cell phone shortly before she was killed but a dispatcher hung up, failed to call back and never sent police to investigate, authorities said Thursday.
Zimmermann, 21, was found slain in her apartment in an apparently random crime. Police believe someone broke into her apartment before killing her. They have not identified a suspect but have ruled out her fiance, who found her body in the apartment they shared.
Dane County Public Safety Communications Director Joseph Norwick said the dispatcher who received the call from Zimmermann's cell phone inquired several times to determine whether an emergency existed. The dispatcher hung up after receiving no answer and then answered another 911 call that was waiting, he said.
