Burlington police responded to an attempted home invasion on Sellers Mill Road Thursday morning. Residents of the home were returning home when they a man approached them with a gun.
67-year-old Vernon Forest Wilson tried to enter the house, but the resident successfully shut the door. He struggled at the door and his gun went off, grazing the resident's chest.
When Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) arrived, they processed Wilson's glove that had fallen off during the break-in and discovered a severed finger inside. CSI discovered that Wilson's finger was detached after the resident forced the door shut on his finger while trying to break inside their home.

A 67 year old home invader?
You see, this is the kind of work ethic that is missing in the younger generation.

I saw a place called “9 Fingers Fireworks.” Maybe he could get a job there.
