The homeowner shot one of the would-be robbers through the storm door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a tough decision. It\u2019s not like going hunting. It\u2019s hard to shoot a human and not think about it. It\u2019s going to stay with me the rest of my life, what happened. You hate to do something like that, but like the police said, it\u2019s you or him,\u201d the homeowner said. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel good doing that, but he would have gotten me with that crowbar. If I get hit with something like a baseball bat, or a crowbar, you ain\u2019t gonna make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police said that man who was shot limped away from the scene, and the other two got away in a red Dodge Caravan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 0 \/ 3<br \/>\nRead the rest of the story here: <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.cbslocal.com\/2019\/04\/09\/belmont-central-home-invasion-shooting-self-defense-78-year-old-homeowner\/\">Chiraq CBS Local<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Homeowner holds burglary suspect at gunpoint until deputies arrive<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By WSAZ News Staff<br \/>\nFAYETTE COUNTY, W.Va.
