“A South Bakersfield, California grandfather reportedly held an intruder at gunpoint while his wife called the police. Police say that the 70 year old homeowner, who has health issues, was at home with his wife and grandson during the early afternoon, when the 9 year old boy noticed that a light was left on unexpectedly. The grandmother reportedly found signs of a burglary, at which point the grandfather grabbed his handgun. Upstairs, the couple found an armed intruder hiding in the bathroom, police say. The intruder is said to have pointed a rifle at the grandfather, at which point the grandfather fired a shot that missed but caused the intruder to give up and lay on the floor.” (03/06/10)
