A 53-year-old woman who fired nine shots with two handguns .... William Kriske, a 47-year-old parolee, was treated for a gunshot wound to the arm, then jailed on suspicion of burglary...

She fired NINE times and all she accomplished was one wound to the arm?! She really needs to go back to the firing range for some practice. She's lucky that the didn't hit any of her guests, forget about the furniture.

Had the same thought, but then I remembered the first time I tried to hit a moving target (and that was just a piece of paper on a wire!) Man, it's hard. Add the pressure of having to defend your life, and it's a lot to ask. From what I can see, she did the job that needed doing -- protecting herself from this lunatic.

And for the record, I am willing to bet that she missed because she a) was looking at her target rather than the front sight (very easy to do with a mover) and b) mashed the trigger. I'd look for those rounds either in the floor, or low down in the wall, not sailing through the neighbor's bedroom window. Could have happend, but the mechanics favor the floor.

But, while we're carping, she could probably use some work on her speed re-loads, too.
