The woman was just out for a walk when she came across an 18-year-old man throwing trash in the wash. She yelled at him and the man yelled right back with some derogatory comments. The man then went over to a nearby wall and she said someone threw a gun over. It turned out to be just a BB gun, but she thought it was real.
Diane Steen was the woman involved, an active member in the area neighborhood watch. She said, "When I saw the gun come over the wall I thought 'Oh my god, it's a .45!' I thought he was going to kill me."
So she quickly went for her own gun. She said, "He kept coming towards me and I said stop. He just kept coming and he was aiming it at me so I fired a shot and fired a second."
She missed, and he ran away, but eventually fired back. That's when she realized it was just a BB gun and she forced it out of his hands. She waited there for police, during which time the suspect attempted to get his gun back.
