‘The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd revealed that she experienced a frightening home invasion scare that terrified her son Jeffrey and husband Lamar Sally and vowed: “We’re going to get a gun!”
The 46-year-old former stand-up comic had a scary wake-up call at 1 a.m. when her New York City home’s alarm system went off declaring, “Warning! Intruder, get out of the house!”
Sherri tweeted:
Protecting my family is my priority. I never want to stand in my son's room again and not have something to defend he & I. That was scary—

Our home alarm went off. @SalfromtheD went thru the house but as I stood over my crying & scared son, I realized I had nothing to defend us—

All I had was a wicker trash basket. A baseball bat can be wrestled from you AND the person has to get close enough for you to swing it—

I held Jeffrey and prayed for protection, but it also would've been nice to be holding somethng in my hand in case there was an intruder—

RadarOnline reports that the police arrived about seven minutes later and discovered it was false alarm. Sherri was once was on the receiving end of a rape threat via Twitter last June and took legal action against her would be attacker.
I think Sherri should calm down and think long and hard about bringing a gun into her home. Guns are not the answer. Why not get a better security system or better yet hire security.
