Memphis, Tennessee



From AP via Memphis' WMC TV of March 16, 2004:



Memphis man, 96, shoots intruder after fourth robbery in a week



Virgil Kindig turned the other cheek three times. The fourth time the same intruders broke into his home in Memphis in less than a week, the 96-year-old man shot one of them.



Police say the thieves used a phone cord and extension cords to tie Kindig, but the victim got loose and grabbed a pistol he'd hidden nearby, firing twice.



Both shots hit one of the robbers, who was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Police haven't released his name.



Kindig and his 93-year-old wife Ruby weren't hurt.

...



Police haven't decided whether to charge Kindig.
