What is the world coming to? In Perth a 77 year man subject to a violent home was assaulted and has ended up with a broken arm and concussion.
He locked himself and his wife in their bedroom in defence. He is licensed to have a 12 gauge shot gun which he used after the assailants kicked in the door of the bedroom. One of the assailants was shot in the stomach and is now in hospital – I understand the injuries are not life threatening.
Now it appears that the police may charge the elderly man with “using disproportionate force” in defending himself and his wife! What was he supposed to do? Ask what force the intruders intend to use so that he can match it?? Get real.
I hope the police come to their senses and drop any charges.
