POINT MARION, Pa. - A teenage burglary suspect is in custody after an elderly Pennsylvania woman boldly went for her gun, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her sights.

Police say 85-year-old Leda Smith heard someone break into her home Monday afternoon.

She grabbed the .22 caliber revolver she'd been keeping by her bed since a neighbor's home was burglarized recently.

Smith says she just walked right past the teen to the bedroom and got her gun.
After the 17-year-old called 911, Smith kept holding the gun on him until state police arrived at her home, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh.

The teen will be charged with attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court.

Smith says she just hopes the incident stops burglaries in her neighborhood.
