79-year-old shoots and kills intruder after he’s followed into home, Wisconsin cops say

Mike Stunson
An armed 79-year-old homeowner fatally shot an alleged home intruder who had followed him home, according to Wisconsin police.

The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3, in Elderon, about 70 miles northwest of Green Bay, the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The sheriff’s office said the 79-year-old man was followed as he was coming home from a local business. When he exited his vehicle in the garage, he was stabbed by the intruder, sheriff’s officials said.

The 79-year-old was armed with a gun and he fired one shot at the suspect before the gun was wrested away from him, according to the sheriff.

The older gentleman didn’t get there by being stupid. Heh. Ironic ain’t it?

Machete-wielding California man who held 12-year-old, attacked deputies is shot and killed
Girlfriend of man in California reported he had blade and was acting erratically

By Pilar Arias | Fox News
A man armed with a machete who was barricaded with a child inside a southern California home was shot dead after charging at deputies Tuesday night.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department told FOX 11 Los Angeles that deputies responded to a home in San Jacinto just before 1 p.m. after a woman reported her boyfriend was armed with the blade and behaving erratically. The woman was able to escape the home safely, but the suspect stopped her from taking her 12-year-old child.

When deputies tried to rescue the child, the suspect allegedly hit one of the deputies in the head with a wooden object before swinging the machete at another deputy.

Yeah, defund the Po-Po and send in the Social Workers. Thanks again, Gun Buny. To our Usual Suspects, Gun Bunny is expanding his repertoire and in the spirit of cooperation I’ll post an example here.

Normally I would comment about safety with all that exposed skin on the range but she is shooting a revolver so flying brass isn’t an issue.

So whats this “local business” a 79 year old man would be
coming home from at 02:30 a.m.?…armed.

Heh….attacker was only 22 yo….dumbass…

That really is his business.

It shouldn’t matter whether he was at the local thong dollaz looking at some shapely Wisconsin booty or had to run to the corner store to get bottle of Motrin for a headache. It’s a free country and going armed only makes sense these days.

Or any other days.

I’m a bit younger than the 79 year old, but at this point in the spatio-temporal continuum the only reason I’d be going to any store/business in the wee hours of the morning is to get medicine for one of my family members.
Well, I suppose that if there had been a celebration of some sort (wedding, anniversary, etc.) that I’d been attending at said business, I might stay out until 11:00, midnight…

But the kid made a mistake. That’ll be his last time to do so.

Gotta love a matched pair of DRTs FIRST (ht2 The Chippy (WOT) and (NYOT) The Gun Bunny) thing of a morning. Pops put 1 round center mass for the score. These nutjobs REALLY need to get them a copy of the TAH Coffee Table Book on what NOT to take to a potential gunfight. Pro Tip; a machete is just a big knife.

Our Beloved AW1Ed alluded to me that he would make me happy this morning, but not to get used to it. In actuality, he posted the gun pr0n linky knowing that I would get lost in it and be out of his danger zone for a good while. Well played there, Kid Squid (ht2 poe). Paladin’s SAA was built, custom, for the TV Show. Matt Dillon’s was an original 1891(?). Wagon Train (1867) uses a lot of 1873 weapons. Have seen the 1871 Colt’s too.

Ms Leggy Thang is not just a copy paste. She starts out as a jigsaw puzzle. The skill comes from assembling without a picture of the finished product to go by. The struggle is real.

I question where the article implies .45 Colt could not be reloaded but .44-40 could.
Fine solid piece of femininity there. Looks like a real girl who would wear well.
