Pistol-packin’ senior, 72, BLASTS back at home invasion punk!
WHEN a burglar tried to break into her home, 72-year-old no-nonsense Jan Cooper grabbed her trusty .357 Magnum and fired, missing the creep’s head by inches.
“I’m sorry, ma’am! I’m leaving! Please don’t shoot!” the burglar pleaded as he scurried away.
Now the gun-slinging granny is being hailed as a hero.
“She’s a remarkable woman. That burglar certainly wasn’t going to get into her home,” Gail Krause, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff ’s Department in California, told The ENQUIRER.
The incident unfolded shortly after midnight on June 9, when the barking of their dog Capo, a 4-year-old Rottweiler, woke Cooper and her husband Bob, an 84-year-old World War II intelligence officer confined to a wheelchair.
