A 90-year-old Ohio woman, facing eviction from the home she has lived in for 38 years, shot and wounded herself this week, becoming a grim symbol of the U.S. home mortgage crisis.
Addie Polk was found lying on the floor of her home with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to her shoulder when police came to the home on Wednesday to serve an eviction notice, Akron police spokesman Lt. Rick Edwards said on Friday.
Polk survived the shooting and is being treated in a hospital.
It was the latest attempt by sheriff's deputies to evict Polk from her modest single-family home because she could not keep up with her mortgage.
Local news reports said deputies had tried to serve Polk's eviction notice more than 30 times before Wednesday's shooting.

Wow 30 times...there are neighborhoods in Detroit where you have to call the cops 30 times before they show once.
Why is it in Ohio the police apparently work for the mortgage company directly?
I wonder if they saw themselves pulling 90 year old women out of foreclosed houses when they went into law enforcement?
Between you and I cops have better things to do and probably would rather NOT be pulling 90 year old women out of foreclosed homes but look where the orders come from.
The bank and the mortgage company.
Just like the founding fathers intended?
I think not.
Fannie Mae forgave this loan after it hit the media...wow surprise...but hey they just got $700 million, they don't need this old lady's money anymore, her house was just bought and paid for by you and I....we're heroes.
Welcome To Detroit
