Does WA have a castle law? If not she has to have a weapon on her before you shoot her, even if she breaks in, although I wouldn't recommend shooting either way, from what I hear you'll spend more on lawyers from any resulting civil case. Good luck though and sorry to hear about your asshole neighbor.

IANAL but there isn't a castle doctrine but "there is no duty to retreat"

So pretty hazy

she came inside of my house. i put a webcam that was unconnected outside my door...it fooled her and worked to scare her off for awhile. but the second she drinks those maggots start eating her brain and i am what she fixates on. i am also a psyche shut in so it was my sanctuary she violated. my only 'safe' space. took me two years before i would even open my kitchen blinds.
