Home Intruders Make Fatal Mistake of Breaking Into Armed 72-Year-Old Man’s Home — Guess What Happened

A 72-year-old homeowner immediately retrieved his handgun when he heard several home intruders attempting to gain entry to his Las Vegas residence early Monday morning. And when the criminals entered his bedroom, he opened fire, killing one of the suspects and sending the rest fleeing, KLAS-TV reports.

“Several intruders, had gotten into the home, entered his bedroom and he fired at least one shot, and they fled,” Metro Police Officer Bill Cassell said. “It is unusual, first of all, to have multiple people burglarizing a residence, especially when they are carrying weapons.”

When police eventually arrived at the Las Vegas home, they found one of the intruders trying to escape in a car. The car hit a patrol car and then the suspect attempted to flee on foot, however, police were able to take the man into custody.

A second suspect, described as a Latin male, was last seen running from the neighborhood where the attempted robbery took place. He remains at large. Police found a third male, armed with a handgun, dead in the homeowner’s backyard. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound.

The incident was the second time in three days that a homeowner in Las Vegas had used a firearm during an attempted burglary and fired at an intruder.

The elderly homeowner, identified as Dr. Joseph Piracci, is also a recent burglary victim. Police say charges against Piracci are not expected.

So, what thoughts do you have about the old fart defending himself?

Should he have just died instead of putting the a$$wads in their place?

Personally I am leaning more towards the idea of electrified home defense triggered by the resident that electrocutes the intruders in place. That way no guns are used. Oh but what if you accidentally fry a family member? There is more control with a gun.

So what would you do if three men were in your house pulling a burglary? Can you afford a safe room? Oh but let us assume you can't and they suddenly are in your bedroom and one of them is looking you over like a good time he wants to have? Let us say one of them is already raping your daughter before you even mange to get to a phone? What then? Beat on them and wait for the police to come to the rescue? Come on. What would you do in the event your home HAS an intruder in it? You are aware ADT has been defeated before like many other "Home Security" services. And they are at the whim of the Police too.

Happy thoughts!

Happy Happy indeed!

Some liberals would call it a train and enjoy-hell out of pulling one. Isn't that what is called friendsssss with benefits?

Looks like at least one of the basterds is one of Barry's amnesty kids.

Las Vegas is an extremely dangerous place. I lived there for about a year. I worked down town. Just walking through an alley to your car in some parking lot could get you raped, robbed and killed.

I had a crazy man follow me home and one night and found him waiting for me at my front door. I told him to get lost and left and spent the night with a friend. When I told a man I had met just briefly at work about it, he loaned me a 22 automatic. I barely knew the man, and he loaned me a loaded gun. Then the man I had been dating loaned me a dirty hairy type gun that was big enough to blow a hole in a door.

Las Vegas is a place where people drink all night, gamble all their money away, become desperate, and then rob people.

Idiots who come to Las Vegas to drink and party and throw their money around are fools. The police in Las Vegas probably get more police action than most cities. They are better at their jobs than most protecting the casinos and their customers.

There are probably thousands of interesting crime stories in Las Vegas. If I lived there I would want to carry a gun always.

anyone who believes that wasa burglary was standing behind the door when Mork handed out the brains

duh

So what do you think it was?

An attempted kidnapping or murder? What?

If he would have had a sign on his front door declaring it a gun free zone then the criminals would have just moved on to the neighbors house because we all know they would have respect for the sign..

I think we can do away with home security systems and just put the gun free zone signs in the yard instead since they seem to work so very well..

Problem solved

You have to be careful in Vegas. Some people go all out where security is concerned.

Hold on there partner.

Where I stand? I live in the consistently top three safest places in this fine nation. crime = very low

I didn't make it that way with guns. In fact, concealed carry is brand new. Imagine that!

You make your town top Fifty and THEN I'll let you know where You stand.
