Re: OH - Grandma shoots LEO after mistaking him for a BG

Heartland Patriot wrote:The whole thing about the officer trying to get into the house like that doesn't make any sense. Like was said, a phone call might have been a better idea. Or, perhaps, in a loud voice, to announce that law enforcement is there and can the person please come and talk with them? Anyway, this one leaves me shaking my head.

It appears that the officer did try to contact her. I imagine that being 92, her hearing might not be so good and never heard him.
After doing a perimeter check and finding no signs of anyone trying to break in and after trying to contact Ms. Huddleston with no response, the lieutenant sent other officers to the back of the house while he forced entry.

Even in a "good" shoot, the gun will be taken, at least for a while.

She did NOT killed anyone. The officer was treated and released.

OH - Grandma shoots LEO after mistaking him for a BG

Toledo police Lt. Randy Pepitone wanted to make sure Annie Huddleston was all right inside her central Toledo home.

Ms. Huddleston thought the man outside prying open her front door lock Thursday was a burglar.

Just as Lieutenant Pepitone was opening the door, Ms. Huddleston, 92, steadied in her hand her late husband's .357 Magnum revolver, and pulled the trigger just once.

The bullet blasted through a wall hitting the 54-year-old lieutenant in the side of the head.

No charges will be filed against the woman, but they confiscated her gun.
