On Thursday morning, 30 July 2020, in Graves County Kentucky, at a rural residence in the early morning hours, well before sunrise, a young man attempted to force his way into the house. The armed invader was 19. The homeowner was 74. Here are the details from the Sheriff's Office. From Graves County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky:
A Graves County man was shot early this morning after reportedly kicking in a door on a residence and gaining entry.
The events began at approximately 3AM, when the homeowner of a residence called 911 to report that a man wearing a mask forced his way into his home while armed with a shotgun. The home is located on Ky Hwy 1710 just south of Ky Hwy 58 East. The homeowner met the suspect and the suspect reportedly fled from the area, after getting into a small-sized vehicle.
Deputies responded to the area and were able to obtain some evidence left behind by the suspect.
Then, again, at approximately 4:45 AM, the 74-year-old resident and the homeowner called 911 again, reporting that a man had kicked in his door again, armed with a shotgun. The caller advised that he had shot the intruder with a shotgun after he entered his home and that the intruder had fled on foot.
Minutes later as law enforcement was arriving in the area, Mayfield Police (who had responded to assist) had located 19-year-old James Page II just down the road from the residence with a severe shotgun wound to his arm in or near the roadway. Sheriffs deputies also recovered a shotgun that had been in the suspects' possession.
Mayfield-Graves County EMS treated and transported James Page II who was later airlifted to an out of state hospital. His condition is not believed

#5. Like actor Art? Hinkle in “Death Wish”, said, I’ve got one in my closet (from WW2, a .30 caliber MG). Great line and scene.

They rob old folk looking for prescription drugs, guns and hidden cash.
Most people over sixty have some of all three.

report that a man wearing a mask
Well at least the 19 year old was considered and wore a mask to protect the 74 year old from Covid

Either the writer is trying to be cute or this is the understatement of the decade!😎

I read it more like they found his arm in or near the roadway!

I’m sure the perp had just found Jesus and was turning his life around. Getting his GED and looking for a job.
