A pistol-packing grandmother in Decatur hopes intruders will think twice before messing with her again.
Police say 69-year-old Ethel Jones shot 18-year-old Michael O'Neal Bynum in the abdomen when she said she found him inside her bedroom. Bynum lived less than 200 yards from Jones, but she said she didn't know him.
"I hope this will make people have second thoughts before they break into a home in our neighborhood and stop some of the crime we've had around here," she told The Decatur Daily.
Jones said she sleeps with her gun under a pillow next to her. She said she was going to the bathroom shortly before 3 a.m. Monday when she thought she heard someone at her back door and then her front door. She grabbed her gun as a precaution and came out of the bathroom to find someone in her bedroom with a pen light.
"I shot three times, and he ran away bleeding," she said.
Now in 2008 did Ethel pull the lever for Four More years of Bush or Hope and Change?
Conversely, did burglar Michael Bynum pull the lever for The Maverick or The Messiah?
