92-year-old woman was killed after she shot three Atlanta narcotics officers Tuesday night when they broke down the front door of her home trying to serve a search warrant, police said.

One officer was hit in the arm, one was struck in the shoulder, and one was shot in the thigh. All were rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where they were in stable condition late Tuesday night. Police did not release their identities.

No, I was trying not to die in the ICU.

Whoa, tough break. I salute you.

"At 92 she probably has some hearing decline."

Uh-huh. I bet she heard real good when people came-a-knockin' to buy drugs.

It may turn out that way. Old people have been known to deal. We don't know yet though. We do know she was so concerned about people breaking that she had bars and her neice bought her a gun.
