Killing anyone — let alone a teenager — was the last thing Elzie
Pipkins wanted to do when she bought a handgun at a local pawn shop days
after a December burglary. But a few weeks later, on Sunday evening,
Pipkins found herself using that weapon to defend herself and her family
— ultimately taking the life of a 16-year-old holding her at gunpoint.
“I was defending myself, my grandbaby and my great-grandson. We’re innocent people and he came up on us in the house with a loaded shotgun,” she said.
