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

Neighbours and relatives said it must have been a case of mistaken identity, but police said they had the right address.

Police said the woman, identified as Catherine Johnson, was the only person home at the time, and had lived there for about 17 years.

As the plainclothes Atlanta police officers approached the house about 7 p.m., a woman inside started shooting, striking each of them, said Officer Joe Cobb, a police spokesman. One was hit in the arm, another in a thigh and the third in a shoulder.

The officers were taken to a hospital for treatment, and all three were conscious and alert, police said.

Sarah Dozier, identified as a niece of the woman, told WAGA-TV that there were never any drugs at the house.

"My aunt was in good health. I'm sure she panicked when they kicked that door down," Dozier said. "There was no reason they had to go in there and shoot her down like a dog."

EMPHASIS MINE

Now... who shot who down like a dog? Is the fact that the woman, armed mind you, is 92 that the police are at fault? I'm not aware of any law in Georgia that allows 92 year old women to shoot at plainly clothed individuals.

And at what point during the "approach" to a residence does kicking the door down come into play? Even if the police did kick down the door (a fact you can't prove from the article, short of the statement of a person who wasn't there) this 92 year old woman must have had that gun REAL close by.

Just another clear case of police brutality right?
