An 85-year-old local woman is being credited as a hero after she fatally shot a man who broke into her home while she slept, struck her in the head and then handcuffed her to a chair during a terrifying home invasion last month. She was shot multiple times in her abdomen, leg, arm and chest.
Still handcuffed, Jenneiahn fell to the floor in the living room where she remained for approximately 10 hours, the release states, adding that she was finally able to call 911 after her disabled son came upstairs later in the morning and handed her a phone.
And she survived!
Her grit, determination, and will to live appear to be what saved her that night.
Jenneiahn ultimately made the decision that it was “now or never” and drew her gun and “engaged Condon, striking him with both her shots.” Officials told EastIdahoNews.com she shot him in the area of his chest.
Condon returned fire and emptied a 9mm pistol, hitting her multiple times in her abdomen, leg, arm and chest.
Condon went into the kitchen, where he died from his wounds.
Jenneiahn fell to the floor, still handcuffed, in the living room, where she remained for about 10 hours, the review said.
She was ultimately able to call 911 after her son came upstairs later in the morning and gave her a phone. Deputies responded immediately at 12:17 p.m. and provided lifesaving measures.
I guess her son slept through the multiple firearm discharges. She fired two .357 magnum rounds; he fired multiple 9mm.

As hard as it’s to believe, some people do have a very deep sleep. It also isn’t clear if he sleeps with added help (sleeping aid, ear plugs, etc.) Anyone under those conditions might not wake up due to firearm discharges.
Her son is disabled and is being cared for by his 85 year old mom. The fact that Mom had a revolver under her bed pillow says that she was the one taking care of the house. Her son may have heard the commotion but not had the mental capacity to understand what was happening. He also could have been too scared to come out of his room but when he did come out he managed to give the phone to his mom because he understood that she needed help. She still had enough Mama Bear in her to call 911.
What a heartbreaking horror. I really hope that the woman will be o.k. but recovering from those injuries at her age is going to be a rough go. What a sad situation.
Disabled doesn’t always mean having mental capacity issues. For example, a person can loose their legs and arms to a freak accident and become disabled due to that. It doesn’t mean they become an idiot the moment they become disabled. They can perfectly reason like everybody else and would hear loud-and-clear any gunshots and what that means. However, there is no way they will move for obvious reasons. The only way they might not hear it is if they are very deep sleepers.
Is it mentioned what type of dissability her son has or everything ends with “he’s disabled?”

Wow, I think Springfield is spot on with his comment. Why is it that you think someone who is disabled is an idiot? Obviously this son has his arms and legs if he went and found his mom and brought her the phone. I lose brain cells each time I try to make sense of your reply.
"Jolley said she denied having many belongings in her home but directed Condon to two safes downstairs. While the burglar headed for the safes and otherwise rummaged through her home"
She sent the burglar downstairs where also her disabled son slept.
"Condon returned from being out of sight, and he expressed anger that Jenneiahn had not told him that her son, David, was elsewhere in the home."
He obviously discovered her son downstairs, but didn't disturb his sleep.
"Condon knew Jenneiahn from a pawn shop and a gun range in which she was involved. The prosecutor said he had previously served with the US marines and did not have a prior criminal past, though more recently he had experienced “some struggles”
The attempted burglary wasn't random. He must have known that she could have weapons at home and knows how to use them.
