What? Is fifty to old for a woman in Dallas to have a gun or what?

Good for her! Doesn't mention if she has her CHL, but it did mention that she did go back to her car to get her weapon. Could've turned ugly if the bad guys came out of the door as she was walking towards it without her pistol. Hopefully this will never happen to her again, but she'll learn to take her pistol with her to and from the car (if she doesn't have her CHL) and always keep it on her if she does.

While I suspect the author's intentions, it may actually be a good thing, as it demonstrates that women are taking responsibility for self-defense, and that you don't have to be a particularly young woman to successfully defend yourself against criminals.

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't the remaining two suspects be charged with murder as well? I thought if someone was killed during the commission of a crime then the other perps were held accountable for the death...

That is my understanding. Although, I assume the prosecutor could choose not to pursue those charges for whatever reason.
