Tequila breath?!? Spies. I knew it!

This has all the makings of a classic Country Western song. Something like...

He had dirty underwear.
She was rockin' in her rockin' chair.
He saw her take a slug of gin,
And said, "I think I'll just sneak in
And wash my dirty undies...
Oh yeah, wash my dirty undies."

He found her store-bought washin' machine.
It looked like it could get his undies clean,
So he stripped off his underwear,
And stood there in the room quite bare,
But she through she heard a noise.
Oh, those nasty neighbor boys!

She shuffled to her dresser drawer.
And pulled out her new forty-four,
She got her metal walker
And became a nighttime stalker.
She headed for her laundry room
Down a hallway filled with deepest gloom.

A .22 Caliber is known to to hit bone and then turn to travel along the bone. It most likely hit the femur and the traveled up and out the stomach. Rather common actually.

Also, it's a small cal and therefore a good choice for an old lady.

Im sorry to say this but for once, I have to agree with Sloww.

It's almost certain the "walker" is NOT referring to a gun.

-It's not capitalized.
-It's a common name, while as a gun type it's fairly obscure and they wouldn't have used that without precisions.

-The phrase "who normally uses a walker", wouldn't be used about a gun (specially since they write more than a paragraph later how she bought the gun) and is there to explain why she fell to the ground since she has trouble walking in the first place.

-This is a 19th century gun, that she bought 4 years ago?

I mean sure I could be wrong, but this is pretty plain to me.

The story makes perfect sense if the burglar had his foot in his mouth.

Or if he approached the old lady backwards and was really, really overweight.

Or if they somehow forgot to mention he was seriously meditating and floating in the air near horizontally, then approached her feet first.

Yet the most likely explanation is that he wasn't approaching her at all, but was instead bent over the washer when she fired at him - and the term "leg" is nothing but a journalistic euphemism.

It's all good. It got Lul to agree with me.

Well, we got one more thing - Tequila Breath

It's obvious that the walker in the article isn't a gun, but a whole lot funnier if it was.

How does a bullet fired at waist height(?) enter an upright person in the leg and finish in the stomach?

Theories?

Is it possible the laundry room was upstairs, and he was higher up?

What exactly did he steal?

The gun! that's pretty clear.
Now, we can argue about the bullet: did he steal it or was it willingly delivered.
Sure the old lady delivered it not in her right state of mind. Some may argue he even took advantage of her senility to get away with the bullet, but I think it would be weak argument in front of a reasonable jury.

[Proteus_MST]

Did he leave any drops of blood in the old ladies home?

If yes one might argue he bought it.
He got the bullet and gave her some of his blood in exchange for it.
