Rebecca Cohen is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.
An 85-year-old Idaho woman shot and killed an intruder in her home in what a county prosecutor called 'one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation I have ever heard of.' Bingham County Prosecutor Ryan Jolley, in a case review, said that the woman, identified Wednesday as Christine Jenneiahn, acted in self-defense and ruled it was a case of justifiable homicide. 'That Christine survived this encounter is truly incredible,' Jolley wrote in the review.
Once back in the living room, Jenneiahn hid the gun between the armrest and cushion as she 'waited to see what Condon did next.' 'Christine's memory of exactly what occurred next remains somewhat unclear,' according to the review. Jenneiahn told prosecutors that at some point, when Condon returned to the living room after rummaging through her home, he again threatened to kill her.
