Grandmother Opens Fire On Robbers
SCREENSHOT
Lulu Campbell says she always carries a gun.
A Georgia grandmother saved her money and her life by firing shots at two men attempting to rob her.
After Lulu Campbell, 57, dropped off her grandson at her daughter’s house, two men approached Campbell’s truck, demanded money and threatened to shoot her.
The robbers wanted Campbell to open the door, but she refused. “I said, ‘Baby, you’re going to kill me anyway, so I don’t have to open it!’” Campbell said.
According to Campbell, one of the men fired a shot and missed. Campbell, who always carries a gun, fired back and hit the man in the chest. A shootout ensued with the second man, and he eventually fled the scene.
Reportedly, Campbell’s truck sustained eight bullet holes in the hood, and both side windows were shot out.
Campbell, who owns convenience stores and gas stations, told The Telegraph: “I’m very nervous. I carry a gun all the time.”
One of the attackers, Brenton Lane Spencer, is hospitalized. The other suspect, Dantre Shivers, has not been apprehended.
Campbell left the scene unharmed. |

I love a happy ending.
but in the world of today would never admit to being nervous or stressed. |

Good for her!
If I remember the news about it, didn't the guy she shot die? Saves the taxpayers the costs of prosecution and incarceration!  |

"Saves the taxpayers the costs of prosecution and incarceration!" True! But do you want to deprive the lawyers their bounty? After all, they helped greatly in creating this great society we now have to live in. |

Mmm......, I think I would rather protect / preserve the rights of all the hard working Americans who physically built our towns and communities first. |

+1 for DHC!
Bobc - it's like the old joke about the differences between a lawyer and a carp.
One is a dirt-sucking bottom-feeder and the other is a fish.

LOL JCHunter. I remember a time when car salesman were regarded as untrustworthy. That has been long surpassed by the legal system of justice now. |
