Addie Polk, who has lived in the same home for 38 years, was facing eviction after she was unable to pay her mortgage. The 90-year-old Ohio woman responded to the foreclosure of her home by shooting herself, after police tried to serve her with an eviction notice more than 30 times. Neighbors say the elderly woman was a victim of "predatory lending." Addie was found on the floor of her home when police came to serve her with an eviction notice and is expected to make a full recovery.

I hope the banker who did that to her is suffering with guilt.
