It was about midnight when 66-year-old Rosa Myles’ nightly prayers were interrupted. She heard a noise coming from the back of her home. Myles, who must use a walker to get around, went to investigate when a man suddenly lunged at her with a knife. The man pushed Myles and demanded jewelry and money. He followed her to the bedroom where Myles kept some cash. As he stood counting the money, Myles was able to retrieve her gun and shot the man twice. The 19-year-old suspect was later arrested and arraigned on first degree home invasion and assault with a charge of intent to rob while armed. (The Muskegon Chronicle, Flint, MI, 7/3/12)
