Fearing for her safety, the 75-year-old woman pulled out her .357 Magnum and fired one round toward the suspects, police said. The suspects returned fire at the woman and fled the scene.

She won this round, but the Robbers shot at her 17 or 18 times, said her daughter.
If that was my Mom, I would do whatever I could to help her move to a different neighborhood. Sometimes, that just isn’t possible, or more likely, sometimes your elderly parent is stubborn, and does not want to move even after this break in.
I used to live within a few miles of that area in Oakland.
It’s very close to the Zoo. The roads are very hilly and sloped. It’s amazing houses could even be built on such uneven, varied terrain, but there they are, jam packed near each other. This is about 2 miles south of the Oakland Collosseum, where the Raiders used to play football games.

Oakland has been run by Democrats for years. And it is falling so far into lawlessness. Its going to get worse. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Women getting robbed on the streets in broad daylight, stores getting robbed multiple times in the same day, carjackings, and now this. The city is just about to collapse.

Callahan had a .44 Magnum, not a .357.

Artistic license by the Freeper.
However, the .357 has THREE digits and the .44 only has TWO, so it must be bigger. (I could be a congressman pushing gun control!)
