Two Masked Gunman Attack And Try To Rob A 67-Year-Old man In The Woods. They Paid The Ultimate Price

If there is one rule everyone should always abide by, its respecting your elders. It doesn't matter your age, how old you are, they should always be honored, appreciated and respected.

It’s a lesson many of us are taught from the very earliest of beginnings, and yet there are those in society who flagrantly ignore it.

This 67-year-old man was walking in the woods in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, when he was confronted by two masked men.

One was carrying a stick and the other a fake gun.

Two masked assailants approached an older Pennsylvania man in broad daylight on Wednesday, an older Pennsylvania man in broad daylight.

One robber was reportedly in his late teens, or early twenties then held a pellet gun up and pointed it in the older man’s face. The gunman’s friend stood nearby with his stick.

According to the police, there was a brief physical altercation between the gunman and the older man.

Then the 67-year-old man pulled out his own .38 caliber handgun and shot one of the suspects in the head, police told NBC10.

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said the toy looked like a real weapon and police didn’t know it was a fake until they got a close look at it.

The masked suspect died on scene and second suspect fled.

The victim has a ‘concealed weapons license’ and has no previous criminal record, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital with chest pains but he is going to make a full recovery.

Charges are not expected since the older man was acting in self-defense, Chitwood said.
