POINT MARION, Pa. — An 85-year-old woman busted a would-be burglar inside her home, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her gun’s sights, police said.
Leda Smith heard someone break into her home Monday afternoon and grabbed the .22-caliber revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbor’s home was burglarized.
“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. The boy will be charged with attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court, Trooper Christian Lieberum said. The Associated Press
