Arab, Alabama

From March 13, 2006 WAFF channel 48:
A home invasion ended with a shoot-out.

William Tony Gross' home on Benton Lane in Arab was broken into early Thursday morning while Gross was at home.

But the 62-year-old didn't let the intruder just walk away with his belongings. He got a gun.

In the end, though, Gross was shot in the stomach with a small caliber rifle.

The suspect fled the scene.

People who live in the area say they don't blame Gross for fighting for his property.

"I would do the same instinctively because it's mine. I paid for it and I'm going to do what I can to keep it. And somebody breaks into my house he better look out for some shells because I'm going to be after him," says Olen Bartlett.
