From the South Bend Tribune
SOUTH BEND ‹ When Tony D. Murry held a box cutter to Sue Gay's neck
Monday night, Gay's 11-year-old adopted son ran upstairs at the home at 1348
N. Huey St. and grabbed a gun.
"He hit the bottom of the stairs with the .45 and stood ready stance
with the gun," said Gay with feet spread apart and her hands
outstretched as if holding a handgun.
The boy shot one round and hit Murry, 27, in the chest, even though the
man was shielding himself with Gay.
"I don't know how he did that. One shot and he got him. He's my little
hero," Gay said of the grandson she adopted.
