NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
A police officer shot and killed an 83-year-old woman in her own backyard.
Delma Towler dialed 911 to report a burglary but when police arrived, one officer killed her outside her home in Altavista, Va.

"It's not over yet. I'm going to get some justice because our mother did not deserve to die like this ... to be gunned down like she was an animal or a criminal," Towler's daughter Linda Langford told The News and Advance.
Towler had never fired her gun before that night. She fired a warning shot out the window to scare the burglar off. Then she started walking through her backyard toward her sister's house. She grasped the gun for protection from the reported intruder — not the police, her family maintains.

this is what you get when you own a gun ... never ever walk outside with it in your hands . thats whats coming . it look like if you have a gun you are a human target

Unless you shoot first in self defense.......there is a law that covers that but not to many people know about.

Besides, your boss would probably give you a month leave with pay.....and the jury? after reading of all the killins done by cops they would let you go free.
