Columbus news media are quoting police as saying a great-grandmother who shot an armed robber when he entered her hotel room with a gun may have saved the lives of her friends and family.

A recent Gallup survey has found a new low of 44% of Americans saying the laws covering firearm sales should be made more strict. The findings mark a 5 point drop in the last year, and a 34 point drop from the high of 78% recorded the first time the question was asked, in 1990.
