Talk about fighting to your last breath. An 81-year-old woman defending her Memorial Village home was brave enough to pull a gun on the bad guys and managed to scare them away. However, the stress took its toll, and the woman lost her life.
Two burglars dressed as utility workers convinced the elderly homeowner to let them inside, but it wasn't this gal’s first rodeo. When she started to get suspicious, police say the woman pulled out her gun and shot at the undercover-robbers twice. The schemers escaped.
The 81-year-old called 911, but collapsed after help arrived and died of a heart attack on the way to the hospital. The suspects are still on the loose.
Let this be a lesson to all area homeowners...if someone from the utility company comes to your door asking to come inside, call the police immediately.
