STANTON, Calif. – A 72-year-old Southern California grandmother who shot at -- and narrowly missed -- a man trying to break into her home said Tuesday she was shocked at the attention her action was getting but does not regret defending herself and her husband, an 85-year-old World War II veteran who uses a wheelchair.
Jan Cooper, of Anaheim, fired one shot from her .357-magnum Smith & Wesson revolver around 12:30 a.m. Sunday as a man attempted to break into her home. During a 911 call of the incident, Cooper can be heard begging with the dispatcher to send deputies and warns that she has a gun at the ready as her Rottweiler barks furiously in the background.

That is great. She is not a victim. Saw this on the news. All I have to say is that if anyone is ever in this position, call 911, state emergency, address and hang up. Police will be sent and then there will not be a recording of anything that happens. It seems that these recording are often used against the caller.
While the Saudis be doing the "Background Checks".??????????????
Way to go...WOO-WOO
I'm surprised they didn't confiscate her gun.. Guess they haven't yet figured out what to charge her with.
She had no right shooting this poor child looking for skittles.
Too bad she missed. He'll be back doing it again tomorrow.
Good thing this wasn't in Mareland or she would be locked up.
