She was shot in the head — but is still ruling her Brooklyn roost.
Four generations of the same family with deep roots in the borough of Kings gathered Saturday in tribute to “tough cookie” Annie Brown, who has survived and thrived for more than 20 years after a ruthless thug opened fire on her during a botched robbery.
The longtime Bushwick resident was a spry 70 when she was followed home by an ex-con after cashing checks, according to her granddaughter, Lisa Brown. He pulled out a gun in the vestibule of Brown’s home and, though the quick-thinking grandmother grabbed a fishing rod to defend herself, he cruelly fired the weapon.
Her daughter, Louise Bradley, 74, called the ambulance.
“I was running in the yard, praying for her,” Bradley told The Post. “I was shocked. I just lost my father the year before.
“But she didn’t fall down, she was chasing the man that shot her with the fishing rod,” she said. “The bullet stayed in her head for over a year!”
