Is this the first time in recent history where 2 homeowners shot a suspect?

Can't remember the last time 2 homeowners shot at a suspect. And one was a female. Good for them.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

Police said a homeowner shot and killed a man Wednesday morning who tried to break into his Arlington home about dawn on Friday.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the man, 21-year-old Marquise Trevel Yates, broke into a home on Seabrook Cove Road, off Arlington Expressway, about 6:30 a.m. and threatened the homeowner, 50-year-old Foster Coker, at gunpoint.

According to the police report, Coker retrieved his personal firearm and exchanged gunfire with Yates. Coker's wife, Pam, also fired her personal handgun at Yates, who died at the scene.
 
I guess if two victims "shoot only to stop the threat," the threat really gets stopped.
 
There was a story a few months back about a family defending their home.. also in FL

One family member saw an intruder standing at the back door, trying to break into the home. That's when at least three of the family members reportedly armed themselves.

One of those family members fired a warning shot above the back doors, telling the intruder to leave,

But the Penas tell police that the person continued to try to enter their home. Police say at least two of the family members then opened fire, killing the suspect in the kitchen area.
