CBS Atlanta News has uncovered new details regarding a home invasion in Loganville on Friday.
Walton County investigators said the homeowner involved wasn’t the only target and released the chilling 911 call from the incident.
“Melinda, if he opens that door you shoot, you shoot him, you understand?” the victim’s husband, Donnie Herman, could be heard saying to his wife on the 911 call.
Donnie Herman called 911 just seconds before a man broke into his home where his wife and two children were hiding in a crawl space.
“She shot him, she’s shooting him. She’s shooting him, she’s shooting him,” Donnie Herman said in the call.
Donnie Herman wasn’t at home, but he had his wife on one line and the police on another.
Investigators said Paul Slater pried his way into the family’s home on Henderson Ridge Lane.
According to authorities, he used a crowbar to bust open three doors inside the home as he chased Melinda Herman and her children.
Herman then shot Slater five times with a .38 caliber handgun.
“Shoot him again, Shoot him,” Donnie Herman said over the phone.
Police told CBS Atlanta News that Slater approached another homeowner up the road about 15 minutes prior to the crime.
“He just drove into the driveway as if he knew where he was going and then I saw him drive up and I walked out and asked him what he needed,” said homeowner Anita Brown. “He didn’t really have any answers. He said he was looking for a coach Williams, who doesn’t live anywhere around here.”
Investigators said Slater is on a ventilator after being shot and the case is still under investigation.
“We own guns, we keep them, and if (he) would have made it into the house I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing,” Brown said.
Mother shoots home intruder five times in face and neck after he cornered her in attic with her twins, 9 | Unidentified woman fired all six rounds, missing only once
Suspect Paul Ali Slater was found bleeding heavily in nearby driveway after crashing his car
A would-be burglar was looking to cash in, but instead found himself in a world of pain when a Georgia mother who refused to be victimized shot him multiple times in the face and neck.
The Loganville woman, who was not identified, was in the home with her 9-year-old twins on Friday afternoon when someone began ringing the doorbell.
Thinking it was just a door-to-door salesperson, she didn’t answer.

But after the ringing persisted, the person began prying the door open with a crowbar.
She quickly retreated to an attic crawlspace with the children, but not before she also picked up her handgun.
The burglar, whom police identified as Paul Ali Slater, did a room-by-room search of the home, and when he reached the attic, she was ready.
Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told WSBTV: ‘The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he’s staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver.’
She reportedly fired all six rounds, missing only once. The other shots hit Slater about the face and neck.
Sheriff Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: ‘The guy’s face down, crying. The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.’
Slater did eventually get up and managed to return to his vehicle that was parked outside the home, but his injuries left him unable to drive, and it wasn’t long before he crashed into a wooded area.
He was found by sheriff’s deputies, bleeding heavily in a driveway on the block.
