Whispering a prayer to the dispatcher one second, hollering a challenge the next as she fired a warning shot with her pistol, a 79-year-old woman was recorded in a dramatic midnight 911 call as she tackled a 20-year-old burglar.

When deputies arrived at the house in Jackson County, Georgia, on Feb. 12, they found a burglar cowering in the closet.
