I had a feeling that there was more to this story than first reported.

One officer was shot 3 times – once in the leg, on the side of the face and once in his bulletproof vest. One officer was hit in the leg and another hit in their arm.

So, we are to believe that a 92 year old lady manged to get multiple shots off before "cocked and locked" officer managed to shoot her? Possible? Maybe. Likely? Not very.

Unless she was using a shotgun, and you'd think someone might have mentioned that. Hard not to notice.

Hmmm.... these relatives that are saying this is such a tragedy were probably the ones selling drugs out of her house. They should be charged with elder abuse if nothing else. Its too far fetched to me to believe that everyone in that house was 'innocent'.

I remember several years ago in a town outside Martinsville, Va the police made a early in the morning drug raid on the wrong house. The owner of the house who had a gun fired on the police officers killing one of them, the home owner was shot an injured by one of the other police officers. They ended up convicting the homeowner for the murder of the police officer. The home owner claimed that they never identified themselves, and he was woken out of a deep sleep. Of course, the officers claimed that they identified themselves. How many times have have you seen on the show Cops, and no matter what town they are in all drug raids seem to be the same. Police officers kicking down the door with guns drawn yelling police and throwing people to the ground. I wonder how many home invaders use this tactic?

I am starting to wonder what good is the second amendment. If you shoot a police officer who does not identify themselves in one of these screwed up questionable raids you are charged with murder. If you shoot a street thug who invades your house in similar fashion, and if he lives you know most likely you will get sued.
