Washington Mom Tennyson Salopek Jacobsen Became a Hero on Mother’s Day by Saving Family from Home Invader


North Bend, Washington

Kudos should go out to cross-fit trainer Tennyson Salopek Jacobsen, a wife and mother, after she took control during a home invasion on Mother’s Day and saved her family.She has it all, looks, a nice family and she can kick ass!

Police say Jacobsen fatally stabbed a home invader early Monday morning as the man grappled with her firefighter husband.

Jacobsen had been robbed the previous day and police believe the intruder was the same man – hell-bent on making a return visit. The intruder entered the home around 1:40 a.m., according to the King County Sheriff’s Department. That, according to investigators, is when Jacobson took action, grabbed a knife and fatally stabbed the man.

The suspect -- believed to be in his 30s or 40s -- awoke the couple's dogs when he broke in. Jacobson's husband, Kyle, went to check on the noise when he found a man standing in his hallway.

During the previous robbery, the intruder apparently grabbed the woman by her pony tail, swung her around, robbed her, and then either slapped or punched her in the face.

The couple has an infant daughter who was also in the house.

No charges have been brought against the couple.

North Bend is located approximately 30 miles east of Seattle.

Detectives do not believe the couple knows the intruder.

Jacobsen happens to be a cross-fit trainer in the area.
