Handcuffed 85-Year-Old Mom Kills Masked Intruder, Protects Disabled Son | 700WLW
An 85-year-old woman fatally shot a masked intruder while protecting her disabled son despite being shot multiple times, handcuffed to a chair and held at gunpoint.700wlw.iheart.com
o/t, Although i know nothing about guns, never before handled one, my dear father who liked to go skeet shooting begged me to keep him company one day.
I think her gunshot wounds and their placement had an element of luck, as they were said to include the chest and abdomen.
I agree. She’s a hero.

The handcuff key was most likely for the handcuffs he used to restrain the victim. He would have needed it if he had to uncuff and recuff her, which it sounds like he may have done at least once when he was getting her to point out valuables in the home.Lock Pick Set. Broken Window. Handcuff Key.
[In ^ post, meant to add a comment (too late to edit).]
Since it appears perp had to break a window to gain entry to the house, seems he was not very handy w the lock pick set.
He also had a handcuff key too. Hmmm, maybe some experience being detained or arrested? Prepping for a quick escape? Just wondering.

An 85-year-old woman was handcuffed to a chair during an armed home invasion. She killed the robber and survived. - East Idaho News
A robber was shot to death by an elderly woman during a home invasion. Proscuators say the woman was handcuffed to a chair and managed to get a gun.
I would guess just one hand was cuffed, one to chair, one to wrist. although if handcuffed with arms in front and a light enough chair I could imagine lifting it and firing. I can see hands cuffed together with the loop through arm rest. Really a function of how handcuffed and weight of chair.
I had a 357 and it’s extremely powerful.
''Condon returned fire, striking Jenneiahn multiple times in her abdomen, a leg, an arm and her chest with a 9 mm pistol, according to the review. Condon went to the kitchen, where he died from the gunshot wounds.

What the what? This guy probably would have killed her if she had just quietly complied, and he DID try to kill her after she shot him. IMO his name has been defamed by his own actions.rbbm85-Year-Old Idaho Woman Shoots Home Intruder Dead amid ‘Heroic Acts of Self-Preservation’
