something is missing from this story.
Was anyone else in that house?
The story indicates this is the correct house. Were the drugs found there?
A 92 year old drug dealer is still a drug dealer.
AND an entrepreneur!
It's possible, I guess. But she's still a 92 year old lady.
If you're a cop, and you're in the hospital today with two of your buddies, all sporting bullet holes, there's no way to spin it - you effed up. Dead grandma and all.
Next time, instead of kicking the door in like you're the A-Team on speed, try ringing the doorbell with a bouquet of flowers and then cuff grandma while you search the house.
Remember the Sudafed clause. Thanks to a rise in meth use the fed and most states independent of the fed have now decided that if you buy too much stuff with psuedoephedrine in it then you are a "probable" drug dealer. This is why all the medicines with psuedoephedrine in them are behind the prescription counter and have to be signed for and they have limits to how much they can sell you at once. Anybody that decides to stock up on cold and allergy medicine, and does so in multiple purchases to get around the single sale limit, is putting themselves at risk for being noticed by the DEA and experiencing some of this no-knock action first hand.
Good morning.
"The story indicates this is the correct house."
The story indicates that the cops burst into a house in a bad neigborhood, in the dead of night, that they believed there was some connection to drugs in the house and that a 92 year old woman reacted to them breaking in by opening fire. Oh, yeah, and the woman is dead and the cops are wounded.
I'll bet that cleaned that neigborhood up.
