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 bet he was....
Never talk to the police until you have a lawyer.
12 gauge loaded with spreader load, followed with buckshot. Repeated until capacity is full. That first shot is basically just point in the general direction. No aiming necessary until you knocked them down.
I support gun control: Use both hands.
Especially to the press. He even posed for photos.
FTA: "Lurch believes the teen may have chosen his home because his truck is currently in the shop, instead of in the driveway like it usually is. "Fooled him, didn't I?" Lurch asked as he laughed."
His only hope is either (a) the home invader was white, or (b) the rest of the national media doesn't pick up the story and run headlines like "Bitter Old White MAGA Supporter Shoots Troubled Black Youth and Laughs."
Number 4’s followed by a cell block 99 butt stroke.
“I don’t know much about that homeowner. But I do know one thing. He talks too much.”
Absolutely CORRECT!
Cop: I want to hear your side of the story. Help me understand what happened here.
Translation: Tell me something incriminating so I can arrest you.
Had to laugh with that.
Back in the day, a well-known San Francisco criminal attorney was reported as having advised his high-end clients, "If you get red light and you have been drinking at all, get out of your car, find a clean spot on the pavement, lay down and do not say a word until you hear my voice calling your name."
“unlike his moniker...”
The dude is 74 it probably isn’t a moniker or an Avatar... but it might have been his CB handle....
good shoot, black or not
These stories usually begin with, “I was just sitting down to eat my McDonald’s, when bam! crash! fool come at me”
don’t know much about that homeowner. But I do know one thing. He talks too much.”
I believe that he’s so old that he doesn’t GAF.
As our feeble leader said, buy a shotgun.
"Lurch" needs range time!
Or a larger caliber pistol ...
Oorang?
Do you?
Agreed.....Judging by his looks and the fact that he admits that he's been shot a couple times before, I suspect that he's an elderly biker who still doesn't put up with crap.
