Chief Tango sends us a link to a local news story<\/a> in Ohio in which a 72-year-old woman shot an intruder, Alex Melton, 26, of Youngstown, who may have been doped up, and then held him at gunpoint until police arrived to scoop him up and take him to jail;<\/p>\n

According to police reports, the woman called police just after 8 p.m. Wednesday saying a man broke in and she had him at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, they noticed a window on the front porch had been broken out.<\/p>\n

When they went inside the home, they found Melton laying on the kitchen floor with blood on him. Police said it appeared he was under the influence of some type of narcotic, and they found a crack pipe in his pocket.<\/p>\n

The woman was sitting on the living room couch with a revolver sitting next to her.<\/p>\n

The woman told police she had heard her front door rattle and saw a shadow walk past the front window on the porch. She said she then heard banging on the window and glass break before seeing the suspect enter.<\/p>\n

She went to her bedroom, got her gun and began to yell at the suspect to leave. She told police she yelled, \u201cyou broke into the wrong house\u201d and \u201cI will kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said he began advancing toward her in a threatening manner, so she said she pulled the trigger and her gun misfired.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Luckily, the next round fired, and the woman lived to see the police arrive. The police determined that she didn’t hit the intruder with that single round, but that his injuries resulted from his forced entry into the lady’s house. Regardless, if she didn’t have the gun (that we’re told we don’t need) she might not have been around long enough to tell this tale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
