An 85-year-old Idaho woman fatally shot a home intruder in an act of self defense.

County Prosecutors stated that Christime Jenneiahn committed a “justifiable homicide” after she shot an armed burglar who handcuffed her to a chair and threatened to kill her multiple times.

Jenneiahn shot and killed 39-year-old Derek Condon, presenting “one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation” that Bingham County prosecutor Ryan Jolley has ever heard of, according to an incident review written Tuesday.

Not included in the OAN article is the fact that her son is significantly disabled and an adult.

Most likely he is very dependent on her and follows her lead. She was unable to go downstairs to tell him how to help.

You have to read the comments to find out her son is disabled, even then no specifics.

As others said, you have to read all the comments at the article, in order to figure out what the author left out because of poor reporting and writing. Seems to be an epidemic of bad reporting, writing and editing. Disabled son.

Apparently she used a 357 Magnum handgun, more detail was not specified.

OAN posted a picture of a gun used in a completely different crime, apparently to increase OAN web traffic.

I believe this should not be done, and causes confusion.

I think I read that he had a traumatic brain injury at 15.

You are correct, the author should have done a better job at reporting the facts.

Its just too bad she didn’t fire more than 2 times. It sounds like she incurred pretty bad wounds from the gun man. Thank God she survived.

Photo of perp....

Went nuts after being eliminated by pre-screeners on the Dating Game and the Bachelor.

Looks like the types on TV series where they have an unbalanced religious guy portrayed as a hypocritical cult leader arming his acolytes with automatic weapons and bombs for a takeover of the country. Implication being that Christians and Trump voters are dangerous.
