HARRISBURG, Pa.—The Beijing Olympics left a bittersweet taste in Jamie Gray's mouth. Now all she's got is the sweet taste of gold.

The Lebanon County native returned to central Pennsylvania on Sunday and was greeted by friends and family and even random strangers wanting to shake her hand.

Gray says her win in the women's 50-meter rifle 3-position is only just now setting in, almost two weeks after it happened. She missed out on a bronze in 2008 but came back with an Olympic record performance in London.

Gray began competition shooting at age 8 in a competitive family.

A celebration of Gray's win is scheduled for Tuesday in Lebanon. After that she'll return to Alabama, where she's the assistant shooting coach at Columbus State University.
