93-Year-Old Knock Out Game Victim/Defender a Myth
A story going around the net is of Gladis Bennett, 93 yr old grandmother, who supposedly shot and killed one of a group of attackers who were “playing” the knockout game.
The story caught my interest for obvious reasons, and because the blog referenced in the link above showed a picture of an older woman holding a large handgun, which I recognized as a large hand air gun, a Webley Tempest
or Mark II air pistol. This prodded me to investigate further, to determine if the story were real or just another Internet hoax/satire.
It is not as if such events are implausible. A recent case in Lansing, Michigan is suspiciously similar, and may have served as a exemplar for the story.
I could not find any actual news source for the story of the “Gladis Bennett”, but I did find a Snopes article that showed the story as originating on National Report a news satire site.
We live interesting times, where satire is often hard to separate from real news events, without some research.
