GA - Neighborhood "Hero" Shoots Car Burglar

[Kevlar]

A Martinez man remains in critical but stable condition after being shot during a confrontation on the 2000 block of Westfield Drive in Augusta. Authorities say 19-year-old Milo Hayes III was shot by Brete Anthony Gunby after Gunby spotted Hayes allegedly attempting to break into a neighbor's truck.

The 39-year-old says he watched Hayes enter his neighbor's truck and that's when he called 9-1-1. He then went outside with a pistol and told Hayes to stay put until the police arrived.....

Name like Gunby, I mean, c'mon. You gotta be packing at that point.

I thought it was gun by and was ready to post "In"

Guess the perp didn't stay put. The "local hero" would be a zero in MA.

The shooting has gotten the attention of many in the neighborhood. Mrs. Ruby Underwood says in her eyes, Gunby is a hero. The almost 90-year-old mother and grandmother says if someone tries to come in her home uninvited she'll be ready too.

"I'd shoot up in the air a couple of times and I might come to another window and take another shot at them," said Underwood. "I do have a gun and I know how to use it. I was taught how to use a gun when I was 12 years old."

We need more ladies like this.
