Great-granny, 80, got a gun, kills a home intruder who attacked husband

(FOX News) - This 80-year-old great-granny got a gun and wasn't afraid to use it.

Barb Moles shot and killed a home intruder who beat her husband with a crowbar and stabbed him with a knife. She now tells a local televison station she is "not just the typical granny."

"You know, never in my whole life did I ever anticipate having to take another life -- especially at age 80," Moles told KOMO-TV in Seattle, Wash., last week. "Give me a break here!"

Moles grabbed her gun, a .38-caliber pistol, when she saw her 75-year-old husband bleeding on the floor during a home invasion in their rural Sultan home around 8:30 p.m. on April 28.
