Woman shot with own gun
The Harrison Twp. resident, 70, fought with intruders, who shot her during the struggle.
Montgomery County — A 70-year-old woman was shot and seriously injured by her own gun during a struggle with an intruder Sunday night.
Shirley Rose lives alone in a mobile home at 3801 South Trail Drive in Harrison Twp. She was dressed for bed and in her living room when two men in masks forced their way in about 10:40 p.m. and demanded Rose's purse, Montgomery County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Papanek said.
Rose refused and struggled with one of the intruders. The intruder fired the gun during the struggle, hitting Rose in the stomach, Papenek said.
Detectives believe the intruders took the gun when they fled. Deputies searched the area but found no suspects.
Rose had surgery at Miami Valley Hospital, Papanek said, and was in serious condition Monday.
