Gunman Surrenders After Standoff With Deputies During Eviction Of Foreclosed 88-Year Old Mother

In Saddle Brook, New Jersey, The Bergen County Record reports:
  • The son of a 88-year-old Saddle Brook woman whose house had been sold at foreclosure was arrested after pulling a gun on sheriff's officers [Tuesday]. Two Bergen County sheriff's officers eventually talked John Brennan into giving up the weapon, and he was taken into custody. The homeowner, Beatrice Brennan, was walked out of the house and taken away by ambulance.

  • Beatrice Brennan had lived on the Adriana Street cul-de-sac for decades, neighbors said. But the house had been refinanced and the loan couldn't be paid, a real estate agent at the scene said. The home eventually was sold May 16 at a sheriff's sale.
