PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia grandmother says she's ready with her gun if home invaders return to her home south of Atlanta.

Still bruised from the Friday night attack, Cece Coffee tells WSB-TV that she wasn't going to be killed without a fight.

Authorities say Coffee was beaten and grazed by a shotgun pellet during the home invasion in her Peachtree City house.

Police said two men armed with a shotgun entered through an unlocked door. She resisted as she was dragged into a bedroom. One man ripped cords out of the wall to tie her up and searched for a blanket to cover her head.


Coffee said she grabbed one of the men's wrists to block his blows. A friend later arrived and the men fled, but not before firing a shot that grazed Coffee.
