92-year-old woman was shot to death Tuesday after she fired at three narcotics officers trying to serve a warrant at her house, officials said.

Neighbors and relatives said it must have been a case of mistaken identity. Police said they had the right address.

Police said the woman, whose name was not released, was the only person home at the time, and had lived there for about 17 years.

This woman shot three cops after they busted into her house serving a warrant. The officers maintain they had the right home, but I'm skeptical, to say the least.

Maybe some younger people were taking advantage of this woman and using her home to move drugs?

Or maybe the cops just got the wrong house as they often do.

I'm very interested to know more about this story as it develops.

Lord knows if they failed to identify themselves, or if she was hard of hearing, the fact that she shot at them could be seen as self defense, a normal reaction to having your home invaded.

I do remember a story about an elderly man in Chicago who had tons of drugs stashed in his walls, along with a bunch of cash and some guns. So, the elderly aren't automatically innocent, but I think it's pretty rare to come across a geriatric drug dealer. Not unheard of, but rare.

If it comes out that the cops had the wrong home, there's going to be Hell to pay. At least she got off some shots and gave them something to remember her by, if that's the case.

I suspect there may be more to this than a case of mistaken identity though. Hopefully we'll find out more before the memory hole swallows this story.

More information in this case. The informant who claimed to have bought drugs at the house from a man named Sam has now retracted that claim - he says he was convinced to lie about the drug buy (presumably after things went bad). This reinforces the idea that the cops likely had the wrong house.

In an interview with Atlanta's WAGA-TV, the informant said he had never been to Johnston's house.

"I'm telling them, I never went to the house," the informant told the station. "The police can't say I ever went to the house."

The informant then said police called him and told him "you need to cover our ass."

I'm going to take the liberty of posting this information at the end of this thread as well, since it will most likely never be seen otherwise.
