A 74-year-old man living in Akron, Ohio, told police he shot a teenager multiple times after he broke into his home last week.
The homeowner, who asked to be identified by his nickname of "Lurch," told FOX 8 Cleveland the home invasion happened around 7:30 in the morning March 29. He said he opened fire when the teen came crashing through his front glass door.
The hurt teen rolled down the steps to the basement, where he allegedly grabbed a shovel.
"I shot him again," Lurch said. He then kept an eye on the intruder until police arrived. "As far as I know, I hit him three times." The suspect is reportedly 16 years old.

I don’t know much about that homeowner. But I do know one thing. He talks too much.

By the location and crime, I’m guessing it is indeed demographic.

"Lurch" needs range time!

He said way too much, and certainly should not have said any of it to members of the press.
The first rule of a "self-defense" incident is STFU.
The second rule is: "I need to speak with my Lawyer".

I’m sure the perp was just getting his life on track and he was just looking forward to paying his baby mammas food bill any way he could.

You are correct. In that situation say nothing except through a lawyer.

Armed homeowners are an occupational hazard to an important Democrat constituency.
That’s why they want you disarmed.

There was a guy in Texas a few years back who did the same and ended being held for two years while awaiting trial.
He was acquitted but possibly never would have been in the position in the first place if he had not talked to the police and the media.
Neither are your friends.
So shut up.

Uh, is the shooters age an issue/relevant? Is the media trying to make an issue of that? Too old to have a weapon?
