66 Yr Old Grandmother shoots intruder

http://www.nbc5i.com/news/5289996/detail.html

they played the 911 call from the grandaughter on the news, and in the background you could hear the whole thing

Get on the ground!
I'm gonna shoot you get on the ground!
BANG!
Ow you shot me!
I told you I was gonna shoot you!
(BEER) (BEEP)
Grandaugher to 911 operator: "you better get police out here she's gonna shoot him again!"


Later the Grandmother said "I shot him in the leg, cuz I was aiming at his leg"

'Gawd bless Texas'

I heard that 911 call. After she shot him, he ran out of the house. She chased him out and told him to lie down. When he didn't she fired a shot in the air. The 911 operator told the grandaughter 'Tell her to stop shooting him'. He ran off but the shot in the air attracted the police who caught him.

Nope, Jake was talking about someone else. The Texas Granny is still armed as far as I know.

They took her .38, but her brother loaned her a .357 in the mean time.

Next time - if she shoots a leg - the perp won't run off....

She's a hero, imo, but I'm sure some gungrabber will make her look like a crazed idiot...

Anybody remember the song Granny Get Your Gun?

I'm sure that in this case the gun becomes evidence in the shooting report. I would hope she gets it back when the investigation is over.
