Armed woman forces intruder to call 911
POINT MARION, Pennsylvania (AP) -- An 85-year-old woman boldly went for her gun and busted a would-be burglar inside her home, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her sights, police said.
"I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," Leda Smith said. Smith heard someone break into her home Sunday afternoon and grabbed the .22-caliber revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbor's home was burglarized a few weeks ago. "I said 'What are you doing in my house?' He just kept saying he didn't do it," Smith said. After the 17-year-old boy called 911, Smith kept holding the gun on him until state police arrived at her home in Springhill Township, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh. The boy will be charged with attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court, Trooper Christian Lieberum said. He was not identified because of his age. "It was exciting," Smith said. "I just hope I broke up the (burglary) ring because they have been hitting a lot of places around here." |

Vicky Jones says she is Westlife's biggest fan and has been to 300 concerts An 'obsessed' Westlife fan has celebrated her 40th birthday by having a tattoo of the band across her shoulders. Vicky Jones from Abercwmboi in the Cynon Valley underwent 16 hours under the needle having their four faces etched on. Vicky, a mother of four, has seen 300 Westlife concerts and counts herself as their greatest fan. She said: "My children reckon I'm crazy but the tattoos are fabulous. "All my money goes on Westlife - about £4,000 a year. I must be their biggest fan." Singers Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Kian Egan added their autographs two months ago. She then had them inked over onto her back, underneath their portraits. Her daughter Stacey, 18, said: "I'm not that keen on Westlife at all. Mum's too obsessed if you ask me." Vicky's husband Colin, 42, was also not a big fan. She admitted: "He can't abide Westlife but he doesn't say a lot." Oh, for fuck's sake! |
