LAKE LYNN, Pa. -- An 85-year-old great-grandmother from Lake Lynn, Fayette County kept an alleged burglar at bay using a .22-caliber pistol.
According to police, a 17-year-old suspect was attempting to burglarize Leda Smith overnight.
That's when Smith grabbed her gun and told the teen that she would shoot him if he moved, police said.
"I had the gun on him before he turned around and said, 'you've had it,' " Smith told Channel 11-News.
According to police, Smith ordered the boy to dial 911 and then gave him some advice.
"Dial 911 and don't attempt to throw the phone at me, or do anything bad or i'll just shoot you," Smith said.
When police arrived, they took the teen into custody.
Charges have been filed against the boy and an alleged accomplice. |

| This is why every law-abiding citizen who feels comfortable should own firearms in the house. |

| This reminds me of when I took a pistol safety course in VA. towards the end of the course they take you down to the NRA range and let you shoot .22 caliber pistols. Well we had this 70-some year old lady in the course, who was thought there would be too much kick from the .22 pistols, bring her own. Wouldn't you know this old lady was carrying a .45 in her purse! |
