But yes- he must have been (fortunately) pretty incompetent to have handcuffed her to a chair yet she could still get her gun. He probably figured, "She's 85 -how securely do I have to lock her down?" Also - again fortunately - pretty incompetent with his pistol to have emptied it into her (according to reports) without killing her.

There may be other reports out there with more info.

Addendum: re-reading the report, she shot him first, which would explain his poor marksmanship!
