Altavista officer shot and killed an 83-year-old woman last night

http://www2.wsls.com/news/2012/sep/20/state-police-altavista-woman-pointed-gun-officer-ar-2221680/

State Police say Altavista officers went to check on Delma Towler, 83, at her home on 10th Street last night after a 911 hang-up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kind of short on details, but kinda odd this went from a 911 hang up to shooting an 83 yo.
