"The company that made the electric stun gun used last week on a 75-year-old Rock Hill woman said Wednesday the device is not dangerous, even to the elderly.
'Medical testing and field results have shown that ... electrical discharge is not harmful to either pregnant females, their fetus, or to elderly people,' Taser International said in a written statement. The devices 'save lives every day, and numerous medical and scientific studies have concluded that Taser devices are among the safest use-of-force options available.'"
