A New Mexico grandma has been hailed as a hero for shooting a burglar who burst into her home and attacked her while she watched a Taylor Swift movie with her granddaughter.
Anissa Tinnin, 45, was elated that her granddaughter was spending the night.
The duo ate dinner, bathed and cuddled on the couch as they watched Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film.
'We had our popcorn and M&M's, dancing and singing along, when our lives were about to suddenly change
A man Tinnin had never seen before barreled through the front door.
'I jumped over this couch and we met there by the front door,' Tinnin told KRQE.
'That's when he grabbed me and was upset and said to give him my keys. He said he didn't want to go to jail. He did threaten to hurt my granddaughter and me.'
The man, 32-year-old Joseph Rivera, was a convicted felon with a lengthy rap sheet. He was being chased by police.
Once inside Tinnin's home, he demanded she hand over the keys to her Range Rover Sport
Tinnin then grabbed her gun. As sirens sounded in the distance, Rivera returned, this time kicking the door in.
'Get back, get back. I have a gun. Get back. Get back. I will f******* shoot you,' before opening fire.
'Why did you shoot me?' Rivera demanded.
'Because you're in my f****** house!' the grandmother said.
She then came to the man's aid, applying pressure to the wound and telling him she would help under one condition: 'I will give you water, but if you f****** hurt me, I'm going to shoot you again.'
Police say Rivera was spotted in a stolen car around 9:30 pm. After hitting spike strips, he continued to drive before crashing the vehicle and running off.

Beware the Swifties.
A true case of FAFO!!
LOL —> ‘Why did you shoot me?’ Rivera demanded. ‘Because you’re in my f****** house!’ the grandmother said.
‘Why did you shoot me?’ — not the brightest bulb on the tree, is he?
I would have shot him until he was dead.
That headline, tho!
Two well placed commas would’ve tightened up that big serving of Word Salad.
At least until he shut up. :P
Grandma needs more range time.
True, then he wouldn’t be there to have a lawyer say he was somehow okay and the woman was in trouble. Better to have her tell the full story with all the details of his evil.
What is this liberal’s history on support of 2A?
Yes, but on the other hand she did manage to hurdle the couch in order to meet Señor Rivera at the front door. Perhaps that’s one of the advantages of being a 43-year-old grandmother. I know neither of my grandmothers could have done that.
Same here. Don’t need this creep or his creepy family suing me for a lifetime of his care.
Shoot till there are no bullets left. If he is still moving, bludgeon him with everything at your disposal until dead.
Parental protective instincts are undeniable. You threatened my bloodline? You must be eliminated.
I make no apologies for my stance and applaud any parent who takes out the trash.
Hots for Granny.
What’s a Taylor Swift movie?
Yep. If someone breaks into my home they won’t be able to give any testimony. Me and my families safety come first.
Well, he's a row boat with only one oar in the water.
Yeah, she definitely doesn’t fit the granny stereotype.
He just wanted her to turn the volume down.
It’s a good thing for her that it wasn’t a tranny. She’d be in a lot of trouble! Trannys can go wherever they hell they want to go and do whatever the hell they want to do to women..
