80 Year Old Cleveland Woman Shoots At Burglar
Written by Jeff Garvas
Friday, 27 April 2007

It happened again. It might even be the third self-defense shooting in less than seven days in the City of Cleveland.

Channel 19 in Cleveland is reporting that a 80-year old woman awoke to breaking glass overnight and moments later heard someone running up her stairs. The woman lives alone and promptly drew a concealed .38 revolver from beneath her pillow and found herself trading shots with a burglar.

The gun was thirty years old.

Thankfully the woman wasn't hit and the suspect fled the scene with a scream indicating he may have been hit. Cleveland Police investigated, and unlike the Wells shooting, the woman's gun was handed back to her on the spot.

Channel 19's report can be seen on their website. http://www.19actionnews.com/global/...ales - Movies&activePane=info&playerVersion=7
 
Good for her

I remember seeing a Cops episode a few years ago where a little old woman heard somebody in a shed behind her house. She got her revolver, went out on the porch and started blasting.

The cops told her to be careful and not shoot in the dark and gave her gun back to her

Sounds more like "Reno 911," as both the old lady and the cops were cretins. A noise in a shed out back is hardly an intelligent basis for a spray-and-pray reaction.
