LAKE WORTH, Fla., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- A young man who broke into a house in South Florida early Saturday met his match in a gun-toting 91-year-old man, police said.
Palm Beach County deputies found the Lake Worth homeowner holding the alleged burglar at gunpoint, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
He accidentally fired the gun, the bullet hit the pool deck and ricocheted into his leg. Thank God it wasn't more serious.
A law-abiding citizen with a firearm will make a burgler, or anyone with criminal intent, think twice about committing an evil deed - Plain and simple.

Apparently this wasn't true as he in fact had a burglar enter his home.
I'd say this was one lucky young man. If could have been a shoot first ask questions later mentality. lucky no one else was shot too with his poor control of that firearm. Im glad he was able to defend himself and render a relatively harmless ending. Im sure he saved many others from the exploits of this fool.
