"85-Year-Old Woman's Heroic Self-Defense: Shooting and Killing Home Intruder"

An 85-year-old woman in Idaho shot and killed a home intruder who had bound her to a chair and threatened her life. Christine Jenneiahn used a handgun hidden under her pillow to defend herself and her disabled son, ultimately shooting the intruder twice with her .357 magnum. Authorities praised her actions as a heroic act of self-preservation, citing Idaho's stand-your-ground law in support of her right to protect herself. If the intruder had survived, he would have faced charges including felony attempted murder, kidnapping, and burglary.
