CHICAGO SUN-TIMES -- Chicago Police officers went to a West Side home to make a "well-being" check. The officers were responding to a request from the city's Department of Aging. Apparently, the department had received an anonymous tip that Lillian Fletcher (age 82), who has a history of mental illness, was home alone and in need of assistance. When Fletcher refused to open her door, police were called. Although Fletcher cracked the door, she still refused to let her visitors into the house.

But police officers wouldn't take no for an answer and pushed their way in. Fletcher ran and got the hammer she keeps beside her bed.

According to a police source, when officers arrived, Fletcher was "swinging a hammer" and becoming "increasingly violent."

When Fletcher failed to stop as ordered, an officer discharged a Taser.
