Just because someone is a grandmother doesn't necessarily mean they are the perfect target for a criminal to hold up.
A trio of carjackers unsuccessfully tried to get the keys to 67-year-old Kay Kise's car while she was returning home from Christmas shopping in front of her Indianapolis house Sunday night.
When the men approached Kise one whipped out a silver gun and held it to her neck. He demanded that she give him the keys to her van but she refused.
"I hit that gun out of my face and I said, 'You're not taking my car. I haven't had it that long. You're not getting it,'" Kise told NBC.
A neighbor came to the rescue after hearing Kise's cries when the men pistol-whipped her in the face. The pistol hitting her face knocked her out leaving the woman with bruises and a shattered cheek bone, ABC 7 reported.
When the neighbor arrived at the scene Kise was on the ground and the carjackers fled the scene - without her car.
The men didn't get her car, or apparently her sense of humor either. She told ABC 7 that even if the men did get her car they wouldn't get very far because she was so low on gas.
"I don't hurt nobody," Kise said later on to NBC. "I don't understand why children hurt me."
Police are still looking for the suspects.
