A 68-year-old East Lake man opened fire on two home intruders this morning, wounding both men.
The incident happened this morning at a home in the 7800 block of Second Avenue South.

Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards said East Precinct officers were called to the man's home just before 10:30 a.m. on a report of a burglary in progress.

The victim told officers he heard noises in the front of his house and went to investigation. He encountered two men, and fired his handgun at them.

  1. Had that home owner not had a gun, the outcome may have been quite different! Of course the liberal version would be the two intruders who just flee when confronted by the old man. The conservative version would be the old-timer was beaten down or killed by the young punks.

  2. I am glad the homeowner had a gun and lived to tell the tale. As for the home invaders, they received their due.
