Elderly Man Fires Shots At Robbers As They Flee Home
For the second time in a month, 82-year-old Kenneth Plummer Jr. was the victim of a home invasion, by robbers at his Fayette County home Monday night.
"They got my wallet and ran through the house and got away with $350," Plummer said.
Just before Christmas, a man broke in, but Plummer chased him away with a butcher knife.
"I want somebody dead if they come back," Plummer said.
The robbers pried upon a locked door, assaulted Plummer and removed cash from his pocket and another part of the Kaider Road house.
State police said that as they left, Plummer went for his gun and fired three rounds at them.
"Very unusual, yes. I can't recall seeing anything like this in my 15 years here," said trooper Thomas Broadwater.
Broadwater said it may be time for Plummer to consider a security system.
"He's obviously very shaken. He just has no idea why they're doing this,” Broadwater said.
If you have any information about the three men who invaded Plummer's home you are asked to call state police at the Uniontown barracks.
