It was 3:30 a.m. when police arrived to find the burglar who was shot by a 76-year-old man. (Photo: Fox13<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 76-year-old Florida homeowner woke up to find his wife being attacked last week, and shot the burglar in the shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

76-Year-Olds Can Fight Too, You Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Miami Herald<\/a>,<\/em> police originally received a report of a crazed man \u201cyelling in the street.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, a second 911 call reported a man attempting to burglarize the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived on the scene at 3:30 a.m. to find the man with a non-fatal gunshot wound to the shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

74-year-old Sherry Treadwell was asleep on the couch when reports say a window was broken with a rock. The intruder, identified as 51-year-old Robert Jackson, began assaulting her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherry\u2019s husband, 76-year-old Randy Treadwell, woke to hear his wife screaming out for him. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Randy grabbed his gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy shot at Jackson, hitting him in the right shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A neighbor, John Paul McCarthy, woke earlier in the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sat in his driveway with his gun, prepared to defend himself, thinking, ‘In case he came towards me.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fox13<\/em><\/a>, McCarthy witnessed Jackson throw the rock to enter the Treadwell home. After being shot, Jackson left the house and went across the street to a different home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crazy Or Stupid To Try It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Again, Jackson threw a rock into a window. According to WFLA<\/em><\/a>, the window was made to withstand hurricanes, so it did not break.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbors later claimed that Jackson seemed under the influence. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t calm him down,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived soon after to find Jackson in the street with his gunshot wound bleeding. He was taken to a nearby hospital and his injuries were deemed non-fatal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson has been charged with \u201cburglary with battery and attempted residential burglary,\u201d according to WTSP News.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighborhood spent the morning cleaning blood and glass from front porches. McCarthy pointed out the strangeness of the night\u2019s events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 55 years here,\u201d McCarthy said, \u201cI don\u2019t know of any crime we\u2019ve had. You\u2019ve got to be stupid to break in here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a community so secure that it would be foolish for criminals to even attempt any crime there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
