Idaho mom, 85, committed 'justifiable homicide' by shooting armed home intruder, prosecutor says
An 85-year-old Idaho mother who shot and killed a home intruder committed a "justifiable homicide" that is "one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation I have heard of," Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Jolley stated in an incident review.
The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Derek Condon, entered the home Christine Jenneiahn shares with her disabled son around 2 a.m. March 13. Condon was "dressed in a military jacket, black ski mask, and pointing a gun and flashlight" at Jenneiahn, according to the document.
Jolley says Condon placed Jenneiahn in handcuffs and took her into the living room of her home, where he took her at gunpoint and handcuffed her to a wooden chair.
After demanding to know where the valuables were kept in the home, Condon allegedly placed his pistol on the victim's head when she told him she did not have much. Jenneiahn then told the home intruder about two safes downstairs, and the prosecutor says he left her handcuffed in the living room while he went to rummage through the home.
Condon reportedly became angry when he found out Jenneiahn's son was in the home, and she did not tell him. The suspect is said to have made numerous threats to kill Jenneiahn.
"At one point while Condon was downstairs, Christine drug the chair she was handcuffed to into her bedroom, and retrieved her 357 magnum revolver from under her pillow," Jolley wrote. "She then went back into the living room and hid the revolver between the arm rest and cushion of a couch next to where she was seated and waited to see what Condon did next.".............

She should have used all her bullets!

Hory shet, the tough old lady lasted over 10 hours with multiple gunshot wounds before her disabled son found her and gave her a phone to call 911! Happy ending, the bad guy died at the scene.

Impressive

Very wise real world lesson. Doing so may have meant shot by fewer or no bullets on the return fire.

Idaho.
FAFO.

I’ve handled and shot a 357 magnum
It’s got a little bit of a recoil to it and I’m a strong guy
Good thing she had that and not a 9 mm

She's 85, after one shot especially handcuffed she may have been unable to fire again, at least not before the POS shot her, and he probably had a semi. What she did was impressive, and I hope she heals well, but as soon as she can she need to get a semi auto so if this happens again she is better prepared to off the next SOB.

Yeah... And go up to a forty or forty five - I don't think that kicks much different from a 357 mag... And might even be softer if that mag is a snubby.

Just a reminder that if you're a psychopathic criminal breaking into a home on the American frontier, you're more likely than not to find a gun waiting for you on the other side of the door!
