Veteran Fears For His Safety After Getting Attacked

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – A veteran who lives in Aurora and uses a wheelchair says he’s worried after he was attacked in his home by a robber.

That’s what Lee Pekish assumes happens, at least. Aurora police have little to go on in their investigation into the case so far, but Pekish, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran, told CBS4 the events of last Saturday played out like this:

At 6 p.m. he went out with his dog for a few minutes. The door to his home was unlocked.

The next thing he remembers it was hours later.

“Blood is everywhere and I really didn’t know what the heck had happened to me. It took me most of the night to figure out what had happened,” he said.
