Old Lady a packing

One of my favorite calls came in one night years ago... scared the hell out of me really. I recieved a 911 call from a little old lady. She was screaming as loud as she could for someone to leave her alone. In the course of the next few minutes I learned that she was a 73 year old, 98 pound lady, and that she lived alone, and there was a large...very large... man attempting to open her kitchen window. My officers are dispatched.. but they are coming from the other side of town and I have to find a way to keep her safe and away from this man until they have time to get there. So I go through everything I can think of....

I asked could she lock herself in another room.
All of her locks were removed when her kids were little...no where to hide.....
I asked if she had any weapons.... she said no.
She couldn't run...she used a walker.

I can hear this gun pounding on her window.. I heard glass breaking.... She is screaming at him to leave her alone... to please go away.. and he is still coming in.

She tells me he is crawling in the window... My officers are still several minutes away and I know that I am going to hear her die. I quit trying to tell her to run and start begging her to tell me what he looks like... thinking... at least we will know what our murder suspect looks like... and then I hear.. this sweet little old lady voice change...

" I'll blow your fucking head off"

I ask her if she has a gun...

to me, "NO!" to him... "I'll blow your fucking head rite off... you hear me scum bag!"

She just keeps screaming at him... until I hear glass shatter... and she tells me he drove head first back through the window.

Now... My officers are rite around the corner... so Now I'm giving out his discription and begging her to put the gun down so she doesn't accidently shoot my guys... and then she tells me. "Oh no honey, it's just my grandson toy pop gun he left on my table... but I put it rite on his head when he fell in so he couldn't see the orange end.

The rest of the story...the intruder was a 6'4" , 250+ man... who was cut from head to toe.. and it still took 5 officers to wrestle him into cuffs and in the patty wagon. He fought them all. He was also deaf. He never heard Granny screaming... but he saw the butt off the gun on his head!

Go Grandma!
