94-Year-Old Woman Sleeps Through Burglary, Shootout

A 94-year-old woman says she slept through a burglary and police shooting outside her Flint home after someone noticed teenagers breaking into a window.

Lizzie Winfrey told WEYI-TV that she had no idea what was going on until officers woke her up Monday morning. She missed the shooting of one teen in the leg after he fired shots at officers while running away. Two others were arrested.

But that wasn't the end.

Winfrey says she and her children heard an officer yell ``hold it right there'' from her basement. Police had arrested a fourth suspect.

Winfrey says she thanks God that ``everything turned out as well as it did.''
