Fannie Mae forgives debt of Addie Polk after shooting
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 10:42 AM by helderheid

MORTGAGE finance company Fannie Mae is forgiving the mortgage debt of a 90-year-old woman who shot herself in the chest as sheriff's deputies tried to evict her.

Addie Polk's plight was publicised by Democratic law-maker Dennis Kucinich as Congress debated its $934 billion financial bailout last Friday.

Fannie Mae announced later that day it would dismiss its foreclosure action, forgive Ms Polk's mortgage and allow her to return to the home where she has lived since 1970.

Deputies were due to escort Ms Polk from her home when gunshots were heard inside.

Her neighbour climbed through her window and found her in bed bleeding.

She is expected to recover from chest wounds.
