According to investigators, two police officers went to a home to check on the welfare of a 7-year-old girl. Police say after talking with the girl's grandmother Kathleen Davies, she went into the kitchen and came out firing a handgun at police. Police returned fire in self-defense, hitting Davies three times.
Davies was transported to the hospital by ambulance where she was pronounced dead.
Police say they were contacted by the girl's biological father and asked to check in on his daughter. They say the grandmother did have legal guardianship of the little girl.

This is heartbreaking. The grandmother was probably all this girl had.
The dead tell no tales. In 'rural' nevada, authorities tend to shoot first, ask questions later.
