LIKE ALL PREDATORS, criminals often target the old and the weak, but the duo who decided to pick on a 95-year-old Alabama man didn't know that he's still sharp as a tack and a proud gun owner. The men knocked on the door and offered to mow his lawn in exchange for money. The homeowner politely declined. Shortly thereafter the men again knocked at the door, this time asking for water. The homeowner told them they were welcome to drink from the spigot on the side of the house. Noting the suspicious behavior, the alert senior citizen got his rifle and peered outside. When he heard the men brazenly discussing plans to rob the home, he pointed his rifle at the would-be robbers and ordered them off the property. Instead, one of the suspects drew a gun and the homeowner opened fire. The suspects fired shots as they fled the property. Police arrested one of the suspects.
