Kathryn Johnston, 92 years old, was safe at her home until around 7 P.M. last night minding her business and probably thinking about Thanks Giving when three Atlanta Narcotics police officers kicked her door in, toting an alleged, legal warrant.

Gunshots erupted and when the smoke cleared, Ma Johnston was dead. Fearful for her life, at people she must have believed to be intruders, she managed to take down three of them with gunshot wounds. Ma Johnston died on the spot, riddled with police bullets.
