"85-Year-Old Idaho Woman Shoots and Kills Home Invader in Justifiable Homicide"

An 85-year-old Idaho woman, Christine Jenneiahn, shot and killed a home invasion suspect who had bound her to a chair, pistol-whipped her, and threatened her life. Using a hidden handgun, she shot the suspect twice with her .357 Magnum, fearing for her life and that of her disabled son. The Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney deemed the act as justifiable homicide under Idaho's "stand your ground law," praising Jenneiahn's heroic self-preservation. If the suspect had survived, he would have faced charges including attempted murder, kidnapping, and burglary.
