Rebbie Roberson is a grandma you don't want to mess with.

The 74-year-old woman from Bowie County, Texas came face-to-face with an armed man who broke into her home on Sunday night, according to Shreveport, Louisiana-based KSLA. 

Roberson took the would-be robber by surprise by pulling her own .38-caliber pistol off a nearby table.

"I reached over there and grabbed this gun," she told KSLA. "And when I swerved around, I pointed it at him and he ran."

Roberson told KSLA she followed the man as he ran, firing her gun along the way.
