An octogenarian Idaho mother shot and killed a man in a harrowing, life-or-death situation after he broke into her home, attacked her, and threatened to kill her last month, according to law enforcement.

Christine Jenneiahn, 85, will not be prosecuted for the justifiable homicide of Derek Condon, 39, a case review by Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Jolley published this week explains.

“This case presents an easy analysis of self-defense and justifiable homicide,” the document reads. “It also presents one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation I have heard of. Condon was still in the act of his violent home invasion when Christine chose to engage him with deadly force.”
