AKRON, Ohio -- A 90-year-old homeowner who was about to be foreclosed on shot herself when Summit County sheriff's deputies attempted to serve her with a foreclosure eviction, according to Summit County Sheriff's Department officials.

Officials said when the deputies knocked on the front door of the home located in the 1100 block of Lacroix Avenue they did not get an answer. They heard a banging noise coming from the second floor of the home.

A neighbor arrived and said he was concerned about the homeowner, so he got a ladder and entered the home through a second-floor bathroom window. She was found in her bedroom.

The homeowner likely shot herself.

Deputies said she was taken to an area hospital where she was admitted. It's unclear where she shot herself.

According to court records, four years ago, the homeowner took out a loan against her house.

The home was appraised at $28,000. As of last year, she owed more than $45,000 on the loan.
