Grandmother Grabs Gun From Accused Robber, Holds Him For Police
Barbara Henderson said she wrestled with a man and grabbed his gun when he tried to rob her, her sister, and her daughter as they walked with Henderson's great grandchildren through a neighborhood in north Charlotte on Sunday night.
Henderson said a stranger appeared out of nowhere on Sipes Lane. He made a sudden move towards Henderson's sister and when Henderson yelled to alert her sister, the man pulled a gun.
Henderson still had bruises on her face Thursday evening from the gun which, she said, the man kept jabbing at her.
"We were tussling, going from one side to the other," said Henderson. "I just kept calling to the Lord and going from one side to the other."
Somehow Henderson overpowered her attacker.
"I got the gun and I threw it up and I said, 'If you move I'm going to blow your brains out,'" said Henderson.
She says she kept the gun pointed at her attacker's head until police got there. She said hopes she scared him as badly as he scared her.
