Thug Breaks Into 85 Year Old Mans House, Learns Quickly That Was A Big Mistake [VIDEO] An 85-year-old man in El Cerrito, California just experienced first-hand why our Second Amendment rights need to be protected. According to recent reports, the elderly man shot one of two intruders in the head as they attempted to break into his home last week. The incident happened at 11:15 a.m. Lt. Steve Bonini confirmed. Bonini claims that the two men knocked on the door of a home in the neighborhood. When no one answered, they went to the back yard. The elderly man called police to report that he saw suspicious people in his backyard, but knew that authorities were unlikely to get to him before he would need to take action. They entered the gate, came through the back and were in the process of kicking down the back doors, Bonini claims. That is when the man opened fire. One of the suspects quickly took off running. He was later located by authorities about 15 blocks away from the house, near the Del Norte BART station. At that point, police discovered he had been shot in the head. It is kind of amazing to think that a person with a bullet in their head was able to travel that distance and run from police one they saw him, Bonini claimed. 34-year-old Shawn Mulberry had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for violating his parole. He is currently being treated at an East Bay hospital and is believed to be in serious, but stable condition. When an 85-year-old can take on a thug like that, absolutely hes a hero, Neil Swendsen, a neighbor told reporters. He did the whole community a service by putting these bad guys out of action and were very proud of him. What do you think? Does this underscore the importance of our Second Amendment rights?
