DRY RIDGE, Ky. -- A 79-year-old man armed with a .357 magnum revolver shot two men after they broke into his home overnight, News 5's Bina Roy reported.

Police answering a call about a break-in and burglary found two men shot outside a home on Ellen Kay Drive in Grant County.

The homeowner told police the two men kicked in his back door just before 5 a.m. Saturday. They tried to flee after being shot.

Police said they found one wounded man in the driveway and followed a trail of blood to the other man nearby.

Nearby residents were stunned but supported their neighbor's actions.

"At that time in the morning, if I was in that situation, I might try to do the same thing," Everett Musgrave told News 5. "I am glad he was able to protect himself. That's the big thing. At least he's not hurt."

"He's old school," Lisa Garner said of her neighbor. "My grandfather would have done the same thing.

"It bothers me because we have children. It bothers me that anybody would intrude into your home," Garner said.

Musgrave had a message for anybody thinking about breaking into somebody's home.

"Yeah, don't pick the wrong door," Musgrave said.

AirCare helicopters flew the men to Grant County Hospital. Their names and conditions have not been released."

Time for young people to learn the old school ways!

What a waste of tax dollars.

It's a shame that people think of Self Preservation as, "Old School".

I guess it's just a sign of the times. :?

Have young people really been indoctrinated to not protet themselves? I always thought that self protection was a natural instinct.

It must be possible to completely remove a natural instict.

Unfortunately, yes...

The ranks will continue to shrink until it is bred out of our society...

I'm not trying to be a "negative nancy" about the whole thing, but that's about the best way I know at this time to comment on the question...

The solution to the issue is to have more kids and raise them up the best you can instilling the advantages to maintain a good a character and sence of duty, honor and loyalty to the founding principles of this country, and encourage them to desire to pass that on to their children...

Getting kids through the liberal system without being "etched" too much in that process is a serious concern of mine...And should encourage us not to accept:

"How was school today?", "Ehhhh, it was ok?"

Don't let "that" become a routine, but then again don't do it to be nosy or invasive in their lives...Help them understand that you are there to help them understand the subjects and lessons in school...

You could write a book about how to work this issue...And I have been known to write till the cows come home...

All I know is that when I came home from school, I was confused, I was quickly dissinterested in it, and that my parents were the ones to keep me up on the process...Much to my resistance sometimes...

I think your whole question boils down to this premise...
