Woman, 76, kills mate, claims self-defense
An Associated Press Report

GAINESVILLE - A 76-year-old woman shot and killed her husband of more than 50 years as he choked her during an argument, police said.

Ola Burns Hines shot her 80-year-old husband, Isiah ``Izell'' Hines, in the chest Friday with a .32-caliber handgun, police said.

As Ola Hines was being choked, she reached into a drawer for a gun, police said.

Izell Hines was arrested for spouse battery in 1996 but not convicted.

No charges are expected.

The rest of the story is that, apparently, Mrs. Hines has been ill for a long time and Mr. Hines got tired of waiting for her to go of natural causes. In any case, I love the fact that Florida authorities generally know a justified shooting when they see one.
 
David Scott,

Thanks for the additional info. Did you read another story about the case? If so, I'd like to know where I can access it. I figured there was more to it since the story was so brief.

Sad but a good story.

Some sniveling liberal will come out and suggest that she should have gone to counciling. :rolleyes:

NRA? Good. Now join the GOA!

The NRA is our shield, the GOA will be our sword.

This brings to mind the absolutely greatest gun quote of the year. Don't remember the person who was quoted; perhaps someone else can supply it. It was printed in the NRA's "First Freedom Magazine."

This came out of one of those brain-dead gun-grabber women's meetings. One participant was asked, "OK, then. Suppose some guy approaches you some dark night, pulls a gun, and tells you he's going to rape and kill you. What do you do if you are unarmed?"

Response (I am NOT making this up): "Start by saying, 'I know you're upset...'"

The Daytona Beach News-Journal had a longer article Sunday. Their web site apparently only holds the current day's stuff or I'd have linked it.

Thats correct. "I know you're upset BUT if you have any love for your manly parts I would suggest you run along now" :D
 
Waaaaaaaaaah

Yet another tragic example of how a gun escalated a normal marital spat into lethal violence and turned regular people into vicious killers.

Sniffle... sniffle...
