An intruder in Richmond got the surprise of his life when he broke into the home of a senior citizen. She pulled out a gun she had inherited and fired it for the very first time.

The call came from the home of 84-year-old Gustava Harvey who lives alone. That intruder kicked down her door and made directly for her bedroom. But Harvey had a surprise for him -- a vintage .38 caliber Police Special.

"As a homeowner and a citizen you're allowed to possess a weapon, you're allowed to defend yourself and your property," said Richmond Police Capt. Mark Gagan. "These are all things that she was well in her right to do."

Police did not confiscate the weapon.

However, there is one telling detail in the police report. She told police that when the suspect left the scene, he had soiled pants.
