WPXI-TV has video with details of how this no-nonsense war vet dealt with an imminent threat to his life and property:
The New York Daily News described the scene as something that:
“appeared to be pulled from the pages of the Clint Eastwood film ‘Gran Torino,’ [as] grizzled war hero Fred Ricciutti grabbed his battlefield sidearm after he heard someone bust through a kitchen door of his Elizabeth Township house at around 4:30 a.m.”More

Sorry, no story here. This is just normal behavior on the part of the vet. We should all act this way.
Thank God he doesn't live in Maryland! If he did, he would immediately be charged with assault, and the burglar would be allowed a full year to file charges against this man. His gun would be confiscated for that year period, and the 5 month process to get it back, leaving him and his house hold defenseless for that 1.5 years. Maryland law sucks big yime and needs to be changed. Nothing Maryland law has is constitutional.
I live in Pittsburgh, and just like every other Glenn Beck story from The Blaze, this story is missing a major part...the guy was leaving the house when the vet shot him IN THE BACK. Now I think he should've shot him for breaking in, but don't make this guy into anstand your ground hero
The guy broke in to an 84 year olds house with a stun gun, showing he knew someone was home. I don't see a problem shooting him in the front, back, or laying face down. Only problem I see is that he wasn't killed so he doesn't try this again!
agreed with 9:18. Break into someones house or try to steal their property, they know damn well they're doing wrong, losing their life is a risk they take.
@8:50 PM
From everything I've read, including the anti-Blaze Huffington post, he was shot in the NECK, then fled the scene.
This has a wonderful ending.
