Sixty nine year-old Ethel Jones poses with her .38 caliber snubnose revolver behind the glass door window she shattered when she fired three shots at a burglar who broke into her Decatur, Alabama home Monday, August 30, 2010. An 18-year-old suspect was taken to Huntsville Hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.(AP)
It was very reminiscent of this photo which I remembered having just seen on Melisaki:
"Nellie with Gun" by Stan Healy from Melisaki. Melisaki seems to post photos that are scanned from books to his own computer which is why there is relatively really great accreditation.
I was still a bit puzzled though. Researching "Nellie with Gun by Stan Healy" very briefly, I didn't find anything except the blurb for a book that may or may not contain that photo: "Missoula newspaper photojournalist Stan Healy produced thousands of photographs in his lifetime. Healy is praised for his unique ability to capture a story and do it with an artistic aesthetic that is captivating."
