She Has To Stop Shooting Him

I heard an audio clip on the radio tonight of a 911 call, I think from Texas. The gist of it was a woman on the phone calling about someone who broke into their house. In the background you hear screaming, then you hear a shot - Grandma shot him. Then it gets good.

This 66 year old Grandma gives him what for - "How dare you come into my house? Who do you think you are? Don't you dare stand up before the police get here, I'll shoot you again?" You can just picture the guy wondering what happened to his brilliant plan. She continues to holler at him and warn him to stay down while the caller describes him to the 911 operator - then you hear another shot. Guess he tried to get up.

The 911 operator then says "Did she just shoot him again? Tell her she has to stop shooting him"

Apparently, she only shot him in the leg - both times - so he will survive, and probably sue. Moron. But it is good to know there are some Grandmothers out there who can take care of themselves - and their families.

If anyone comes across the audio, let me know.

UPDATE: Still no audio, but here is the story from ABC

UPDATE: Here is the audio - the version I heard was better, it was editted to get rid of all the boring stuff.
