80-year-old shot ‘pregnant’ burglar in back as she fled

An 80-year-old California man who came home to find two burglars said he shot and killed one of them despite her pleas that she was pregnant. But it is the woman’s alleged accomplice who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police said they were still deciding whether to recommend charges against Tom Greer, who told a television station he shot the woman in the back as she fled from his house.

“She says, ‘Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant — I’m going to have a baby,’ and I shot her anyway,” Greer told KNBC-TV outside his house.
