SULTAN, Wash. -- Four shots fired. Three hit the intruder.
It was one surreal moment, says Barb Moles.
"I was just intent upon stopping him. I didn't have any other thought in my head," says Moles. "I just knew I had to stop him."
Moles, 80, was home with her husband, John, and their adult son Thursday night when she says she heard a commotion. She walked into the kitchen and found her husband bleeding on the floor.
John, a retired Boeing worker, had been attacked with a knife and beaten with a crowbar, authorities said. He said three words to his wife: "I've been stabbed."
Barb, a grandmother of eight and great-grandmother of three, walked down the hall and into the master bedroom. She found her .38 caliber pistol -- a Christmas gift from John a few years prior.
She waited behind the door for the intruder to come in. He never did.
She walked into the hallway, she says, where she saw the stranger.
He said one word: "gun."
She shot him four times, hitting her mark three on of them.

Well, other than the perp.
Was the perp one of 0bama's 'sons'?
He didn’t hurt for very long.
A lot of criminal’s last words are gun
White punk looking for pills. His picture in included in the video.
Good riddance. Old people usually have a LOT of pills, but few, if any, are the "Happy" pills these punks are looking for.
The thug stabbed a very old man and beat him with a crowbar. Dead is a huge improvement over alive for a thug like that.
This is reported to be the dead thug, from his Facebook.
Kudos to Grams but she needs a little more range time all four would have been perfect.
They may not prosecute her because the criminal was white. If he had been a ‘person of color’, she would probably be looking at spending the rest of her life in prison up in that liberal hell hole.
Eighty years old, playing cat-and-mouse with a dangerous perp, scared to death and still hitting 3 out of four?
Asking for a perfect shoot is ridiculous. She was probably still pulling the trigger as he was hitting the floor.
And I thought a rainy Friday morning was gonna start out bad!!
Things are looking brighter already...
We’re being reminded that “a well-armed society is a polite society” one bullet-holed perp at a time...whether shot by an eleven-year old in Alabama, or an 80-year old in Washington state.
I hope criminals learn not to confront we seniors...we are not without “power” to respond!
A lot of criminals must be religious, because when they see the gun they say "Holy..."
Good shootin’ granny.
Sultan is a low rent suburb of Monroe.
I really don’t think she needs more range time.
Her hit rate, 3 out of 4, is a heck of a lot better than most LEOs achieve. That was with a wheel gun too. Wonder what her barrel length was?
My bottom line _ GREAT SHOOTING! You are alive, your family is alive, and the burglar is dead. have to wonder how many future lives she saved?
lol..... priceless...
