Pa. woman, 85, makes burglar call 911 at gunpoint

Associated Press

POINT MARION, Pa. - A 17-year-old is in police custody after an 85-year-old woman held him at gunpoint and forced him to call 911 after police say he broke into her home.

Leda Smith says she heard the boy break into her home about 3 p.m. Monday. She says she grabbed a .22-caliber revolver she started keeping by her bed when a neighbor's home was burglarized a few weeks ago. She lives in Springhill Township, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Smith says she made the boy call the police and then held him at gunpoint until they arrived. Smith says the incident was "exciting" and she's hoping it ends a string of burglaries in the area.

The boy will be tried in Fayette County Juvenile Court. He's not being identified because of his age.
 
And now for the UK version of this story (fictitious of course ...)

The police wrestled the woman to the ground when arriving at her home whereby she broke a wrist and both her legs. She has been charged with attempted murder and kidnapping charges.

Apparently in Vegas I'd have to prove that my life was in jeopardy for me to be able to shoot someone in my home. Reckon I should have two pistols and only handle one with gloves :evil:

That means you would need to kill the SOB so he could not claim he accidently broke into your home.... :P
 
You just grab one of your old kitchen knives and put it in his hand. I am old so any time a young guy is in my house my life is in jeoperdy. If it was in my yard that would be something else but in your house, maybe a slap on the wrist. :)
