Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

(CBS) A Texas woman has a unique home defense system - hurling billiard balls at would-be robbers from the roof of her house.

Paula Ollie heard noises outside of her North Richland Hills home Wednesday afternoon and took action, reports CBS station KTVT. The 27-year-old mother collected several pool balls and placed them in her son's bicycle helmet.

Ollie went out through the back door and climbed a tree to get to her roof - all while clenching the bike helmet's strap in her teeth. Once on the roof, she unleashed her unconventional defense.

"I hollered out 'Death from above!' I'm not kidding. And no sooner than I said that, I started chucking pool balls at them."
