The article does not indicate if she was or was not a dealer.

ONLY that she was 92.

The article implies there are bars on her windows. Are the bars there to keep other drug dealers out? Did she install them?

Remember dealers use unlikely people (minors, older people) as lookouts.

The article also does not indicate if she lives alone.

too many holes in this story reporting.

need more information.

From news.bbc.co.uk:
Elderly woman dies in shoot-out

A 92-year-old woman has been shot dead after she apparently fired at three police trying to serve a search warrant at her house in Georgia, officials say.

Kathryn Johnson shot the plain-clothed narcotics officers who had approached her home in Atlanta, city police said.

The officers had knocked on the door and announced themselves before forcing it open, the police said.

She was the only person home at the time and had lived there for about 17 years, police said.

One policeman was hit in the arm, another in a thigh and the third in a shoulder.

Assistant Chief Alan Dreher said the officers had a legal warrant and "knocked and announced" before they forced open the door.

He said they were justified in returning fire when they were fired upon.

Her niece said she talked to her aunt every day and the conversation was often about crime in the area.

"Every window in her home and every door on her home has burglar bars," Sarah Dozier told a local newspaper.

"I talked to her the other day about a 72-year-old who was raped. I know she was just scared."

The incident is being investigated by police.
