76-Year-Old Man Shoots At Armed Robber
MORROW, Ga. -- Police say a 76-year-old man shot at an armed robber, but the man got away. Now police need your help in finding him.
Bill Dowis says he was terrified. He sells firewood off of his porch. For the past couple of days, two men have been showing up to buy firewood. On the third day, the suspect asked to wash his hands and the Korean War veteran let him in.
“He was standing here and he pulled the pistol out and cocked it and said 'give me your money.' I said 'I got none here, the money is down the hall,'” Dowis said.
So, they walked down the hall and into one of his bedrooms where the man filled his pockets with so much money his pants fell down, Dowis said. That's when the victim says the robber ordered Dowis to give him a pillow case.

2. Range time is indicated.
We used to sell peaches off the porch. A lot of peaches. Ergo, we had a lot of money in the house since it was a cash business. Of course police response time would have been the biggest part of an hour, so I slept next to a Smith and Wesson model 19.
