RICHMOND -- A 911 call came in the Richmond Police department Sunday night
and a shaken elderly woman said, "They broke in, they broke the door down.
Send someone out here quick. Please."
The 84-year old woman lives alone and is very sharp and independent. Before
making that 911 call, she'd already taken action.
"I was in my bed, that's when I heard a noise," said the woman.
A noise woke her just before midnight Sunday and she saw her hall light on.
Knowing it shouldn't be, the Richmond senior grabbed her .38 caliber
revolver from her nightstand.
The women then came face-to-face with an intruder who approached her bedroom.
"When he saw me, he ran and I shot," she said.
She and her son told KTVU what happened, but heir identities have been
withheld for their own safety.
"My mom has the will to live. She loves life. She wants to be here," said
her son.
She went on to say, "My mind told me to get that gun."
She inherited the gun more than 20 years ago, and never fired it before.
The bullet struck the wall, but she said she would have been fine if she'd
hit the intruder. Police agreed.
"Anybody has the right to keep their home and themselves safe, and so she
did what was necessary," said Lt. Bisa French of the Richmond Police
Department.
The suspect kicked in the back door and the suspect escaped the same way.
The suspect was not caught.
A new security door has since been installed, and another will go on the
front door too.
"I didn't know I wasn't supposed to go out with a gun," she laughed. "So he
said never come out with a gun."
The gun is back in her drawer, ready if needed. | f*********n 发帖数: 11154 | 2 Very nice, granny! Next time, tell the police "shot, ran", not "ran, shot".

killed.

这完全是谎言。
不过枪打死家人朋友的案子大约是打死intruders的五到十倍。。。很多地方更高。
