An 88-year-old liquor store owner was arrested after shooting an alleged shoplifter in Nashville, Tennessee, explaining she was “fed up” by her store getting robbed.

May Boyce told police she grabbed her late mother’s 38-caliber Smith & Wesson snub-nose revolver and shot a suspect who was attempting to steal alcohol earlier this month, according to a police affidavit obtained by McClatchy.
