Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday that any intruder who breaks into her home is “getting shot,” a comment that seemed to be made in jest during an interview with Oprah Winfrey .
She stressed that she believes in the Second Amendment. Here’s what happened and what the laws are in Indiana.
‘If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,’ Kamala Harris said.
Winfrey, while hosting a star-studded livestream town hall with the Democratic nominee, told Harris in an interview that she was surprised to hear during last week’s presidential debate with Donald Trump that she is a gun owner .
“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris responded, then broke into a laugh. “Probably should not have said that. My staff will deal with that later.”
As vice president, Harris resides in the heavily protected Naval Observatory residence in Washington.
