WAY TO GO, GRANDMA!!!

OCOEE, Fla.
A 62-year-old city council woman fought off two carjackers at a mall in Ocoee Saturday by stabbing one of the men with her car keys and yelling for help.
Investigators said two men approached Gail Ash as she entered her car in a parking lot at West Oaks Mall. "I unlocked the door, threw my package on the seat and I get in slowly because of my bad back," Ash said. "I had just turned and that is when he grabbed me."
One of the men said he had a gun, but Ash fought back when she noticed it was a cell phone, according to the report. "I said to him, 'No' and I grabbed my bag against my body and I had the keys in my hand and I just jabbed it in to him," Ash said. "I called, 'Help police, help police,' and by the time I said it twice, he had let go of me."
Both men fled the parking lot and remain on the loose. "They probably thought because I was in a handicapped spot that they were not going to have too much trouble with me," Ash said. "But, they found out otherwise."
DON'T MESS WITH GRANDMA!
