Pistol-packing grandma turns tables on armed intruder

A person carrying a masks and gloves was standing in her home after he broke in Sunday evening.

"Once I began to stand up, he was in right here on me with a gun going through me proper to my face," she informed CNN affiliate KSLA.

"I reached over there (a close-by desk) and grabbed this gun. And after I swerved round, I pointed it at him and he ran."

Because the intruder hightailed it out of her home, Roberson gave chase, firing her .38-caliber revolver on the fleeing man.

"I attempted to kill him," she mentioned. "Anyone break in on me, I will kill them. He'll kill me or I will kill him."

The primary time

Authorities do not know if Roberson hit the person, however they're trying to find him. And Roberson will not be in bother with the regulation.

"Each citizen, in response to the Texas penal code, has the suitable to defend themselves and their household," Bowie County Sheriff's Workplace Chief Deputy Jeff Neal informed KSLA.

It was the primary time -- and she or he hopes the final -- that Roberson ever had to make use of her weapon.

"That was the scare of my life."

They all the time say,"Do not mess with Texas." Guess that goes for Texas grandmothers, too.
