Looking at Lulu Campbell’s bullet-riddled silver Toyota Tundra, common sense says the 57-year-old grandmother should be dead.

It’s impossible to tell how many bullets were fired at 2 a.m. Saturday morning on English Avenue, but what started as an armed robbery attempt turned into a full-blown firefight.

Good on her! Nicely done.

The perps:

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

God I love my native state.

Looks like she was a better shot than they were. :)

Well, it’s hard to hit your target when you’re holding your gun sideways in that Gansta gorilla grip.

Sometimes she didn’t miss. Some 35 years ago, she shot her husband and his mistress after catching them together. ......LOL!

What a great article tho....This little gal owns 13 convenience stores and gives most of her profits away to charities, wow! Talk about living the American dream thru hard work...

Clearly they needed:

Glad they didn't have them!

Most criminals don’t respect range time.

Lulu wins a battle in the true War on Women.

Awesome woman, wish she made up the majority of grandmothers! Not much better than to read that an armed robber was taken down by a pissed off granny.

“I saw the guy in front of me, and I said, ‘Oh my God, there are two of them.’ I said I’m going to take one of them with me. . . "
At that point, Campbell said she didn’t want to leave the safety of her truck and risk trying to make a run for the house. She drove the truck out of the driveway.
“I thought that the only way to protect myself was to run him down,” she said. “Otherwise, he would have gotten away.”

DO NOT mess with this lady.

“I thought that the only way to protect myself was to run him down,” she said. “Otherwise, he would have gotten away.”

Because shooting one of them just wasn't quite enough. What a woman.

Yay Lulu! You go girl!

Oh, wait; according to the race-baiters, I'm supposed to hate Lulu because she is of Haitian extraction, and is therefore magically "black". And she clearly has American Indian ancestry, and so I'm supposed to hate her more.

Oh, wait; I am of American Indian ancestry. So, how does the race theory play out now?

/sarcasm, in case you need the tag.

Good on this lady for using her 2nd Amendment rights to defend herself against these punks.

Well, it’s hard to hit your target when you’re holding your gun sideways in that Gansta gorilla grip.

It's even harder to get the pistol to fire again, when the slide does not go back into battery when the brass from the previous round FALLS back into the ejection port, jamming the slide.

Duh.
