72-Year-Old Woman Shoots Intruder Who Was Beating Her Friend with a Bat

In South Carolina an evil git broke into a house occupied by two women. The younger of the two grabbed a baseball bat to defend herself but the evil git got it away from her and began to beat her with it. The victim's 72 year old companion grabbed her gun and shot the evil git. The bullet only grazed the evil git's head. That was still enough to end the assault. The ladies are recovering. The evil git is in jail awaiting trial.
