Gegelman was home alone around 3:30 p.m., when the three men drove a small car into his yard, came up to the house and knocked loudly at the door.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t like the looks of them, so he remained quiet in the house while they got back into the car. They made a U-turn in the yard, and two got back out and came up to the door.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, he armed himself with a .22 handgun. When the two knocked, pushed opened the door and called out, Gegelman stepped into the room, pointed a gun and said, \u201cYou came to the wrong house today.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said one of the men immediately started shooting and he returned fire, shooting the gunman in the back as he took off from the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was watching the one who was shooting, watching his gun, the smoke and fire. I\u2019m too damned old to be shooting at people,\u201d Gegelman said Monday. He said he estimated the shooter\u2019s age at about 20.<\/p>\n
After the shooting, Gegelman followed the car out of his yard and was able to get a license plate number. He drove to Beulah, where he was able to contact police and get medical help.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The wounded thug was on his way to the same hospital when police stopped and arrested him. The other two are still on the loose. The lesson here is to shoot first and shoot fast. But, I’m glad Mr. Gegelman will be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
