The man and an accomplice fled the scene, prompting a large manhunt that included a Marine Police airplane and a Maryland State Police helicopter.
The search continued for hours. The two men, described as armed and wearing black clothing, remained at large Friday afternoon.
The broad-daylight home invasion and ensuing search was chronicled on police scanners as rapt residents listened.
The victim, whose name is being withheld by the News, recounted in a Friday interview several harrowing minutes in which she thought a daylight banging at the door was a delivery driver.
But then she saw a man kneeling — apparently a lookout — near a woods as an intruder broke through a door. The woman had armed herself and had words with the intruder.
"Look what I've got," she said she screamed at him.
"I was just showing him my gun."
The man, as he left the yard, whirled and fired a shot at the woman, she said. She returned two shots herself.
Police established a perimeter, observed roads and searched with canine units.
