CARTHAGE, Mo. --
A 63-year-old grandmother with a handgun stops two burglars at her back door in Carthage. The Jasper County Sheriff's Department said a woman and a 16-year-old boy were arrested after the foiled break-in and charged with first-degree burglary. The grandmother was at home with her grandchild Friday when the burglars broke down her back door. She grabbed a handgun and stopped the pair, but they ran away when the woman went back inside to call the sheriff's department. --- Information from: The Joplin Globe, http://www.joplinglobe.com |
