Mom-to-be calls shooting self-defense

A pregnant 19-year-old woman told police she shot her unborn child's father in the chest because he was threatening to hurt her.

Police didn't release the name of the man, who was taken to Wilford Hall Medical Center in poor condition Thursday night, according to a police report.

Tiffanie Boedeker told police the man came to her home at about 7 p.m. and they argued about her pregnancy.

Boedeker said he told her he didn't want her to have the baby. He also told her he didn't want to pay child support, according to the report.

Boedeker said she asked him to leave, but he refused and kept pulling at the front door trying to open it.

She said she grabbed her gun because "she feared for her safety," according to the report, which stated she shot him as he reached for the front door.

Neither Boedeker nor the man has been charged.
No subsequent stories about this incident were found.
