Christine Jenneiahn.was asleep in her home early on March 13th when she was woken up by a man wearing a black ski mask who was pointing a gun at her face. The man slapped a pair of handcuffs on Jenneiahn and led her out to the living room, cuffing her to a chair and demanding to know where she kept her valuables.
At one point the man, later identified by authorities as 39-year-old Derek Ephriam Condon, discovered that Jenneiahn’s disabled adult son was in the home and threatened to kill her for not alerting him that someone else was in the home. That’s when Jenneiahn decided she needed to try to get her gun.
When Condon went downstairs again at some point, Jenneiahn dragged the chair she was handcuffed to into her bedroom and got her .357 Magnum revolver, which was under her pillow.
She then went back into the living room and “hid the revolver” between the armrest and cushion of a couch next to where she was sitting while she waited to see what Condon did next, the review detailed.
“Her memory of exactly what happened next remains somewhat unclear,” according to the review.
She told investigators that at some point, Condon came back into the living room and threatened to kill her as he continued to burglarize her home.
Jenneiahn ultimately made the decision that it was “now or never” and drew her gun and “engaged Condon, striking him with both her shots.” Officials told EastIdahoNews.com she shot him in the area of his chest.
Good for that tough old girl. She was Shot and still got that done? Good grief,,
