Sometimes, you just gotta do, what you gotta do.

As if that isn't hard enough on the 61-year-old man, he is now faced with a long, drawn-out court proceeding where he will, no doubt, have to be a witness and put up with questioning and all that goes on after these things happen.
It may never be over in this life for him.
Punks. I think I could pull the switch myself on those hoodlums.

You just gotta love this tough old bird. He shoots a slimey perp while his arm is in a sling, because of his recent operation installing a pacemaker!

I wish you people would stop referring to a 61-year-old guy as "old."

I read that initially as that somehow he'd used the pacemaker to fend off the intruders.... Maybe he'd shocked them into irregular heart beats....

17 years old and facing life sentences. Better they start serving their punishment now than after they get a few more not so fotunate victims under their belts.

Police weren't able to question the suspect as medical staff whisked him off for several hours of emergency surgery.His family hired an attorney by the time the anesthesia wore off and police didn't interview him that day.
My child is innocent. He's a victim in this. He's a good kid, turning his life around.... blah, blah..

It was the handgun that saved him, though.

I wish you people would stop referring to a 61-year-old guy as "old." Me, too. (At least this article shows that there's hope for the next generation!)

I am not 61 yet, and I'm a lady, but what I find with the guys in their sixties is that while their strength and reflexes are not what they once were, they're mean adversaries anyway. Part of this is because the adversaries tend to underestimate them and dismiss them as old, slow, and weak, which is a mistake. Second, they have usually learned a lot of tricks over the years. They are often tough customers. I wouldn't necessarily bet on a 25-year-old over a 61-year-old.

Even with a Pacemaker a 61 year old man is just out of his fifties and could still be otherwise hale and hearty. He must have acted quickly to knock the shotgun off aim.
The "intruder" surely meant to blow his head off. It seems to be a clear Case of self-defense. Hope he makes out OK.
