#1 Associated article here. "It's a wonder she didn't shoot us all," said her 51-year-old son, who was preparing to hand over his cash when he heard the gunshot. "She's the worst shot in the world.

"She said to me, 'God was with me tonight. You know I couldn't have done that myself.'"

None of the family members, who live in Ironton, wanted to be identified, fearing retaliation; and the woman didn't want to be interviewed. They have moved to a different room in the motel.
Too bad the paper ID'd their home town & their whereabouts. Too much information. Saying that they live in Ohio and moved to a different location would have been more than enough for the newspaper to report.

#2 So is she a gun-toting liberal or a bleeding heart conservative?

Agree. Poor granny will have to make another one bite the dust.

#4 Picture of the perp in this one. Notice the classical 'line up' background in the image. This one identifies him as being from Missouri.

#5 My wife and daughter are at that show every year and were there last weekend. A good friend of my daughter was still there competing. It's a huge event for the horse people.

#6 When the word gets back to the other horse people, I bet there is going to be a bunch of hasty gun sales, so people can have a "temp gun" while at the show.

Gun dealers could increase sales right now (probably not that they need to), by throwing in a box of ammo with each purchase, but which must be picked up at a different visit.
