Unbelievable what this woman went through. To think a 12 and 13 year old would terrorize an elderly woman like this. It makes me sick. I think shooting at the kids was completely justifiable, even if it could have resulted in their death. Someone had to take control, and the problem that existed has been resolved...at least for now. I could care less about their age, kids throwing bricks at an old woman is crossing the boundary......

There is a problem with this...why?

And the elites in Chicago still want to take away your right to carry a gun.

It sounds like a case of good people doing nothing while this older woman was harassed for a year.

Yes, because what would we do if we didn't have a gun to shoot at whoever gets us angry ? Everyone else in the area, get out of the way.

This whole pile of crap about anyone carrying, at anytime, for any reason, anything they care to carry, because it is supposedly their god and constition given right, is ridiculous. To cite an instance like this is ridiculous, no matter the circumstances and outcome. Guns are like almost any machinery, at times dangerous, a creation of man and they should be regulated.
