Snuffer said the 74-year-old victim was taken to CAMC General Hospital, where she remained in stable but critical condition late Thursday. He said sheriff's deputies were canvassing the area, talking with neighbors and looking for potential witnesses to the break-in.
Snuffer said deputies aren't yet sure what kind of weapon was used to attack the woman. "We're going to be here late throughout the night processing the crime scene," he said.
