I wonder what kind of "weapon" she had.

Well, if she was suicidal, then she succeeded. Article says she's in her 70s. Curiously though, 3 people fired at her - and only 1 used a non-lethal weapon...on a 71 year old...

I'd say the 6 month old puppy would probably do more damage than a 71 year old.

Don't you know that they can get their age germs all over you?
