State police said a Washington County man woke up in the middle of the night and fired a gunshot at intruders who fired back at him before fleeing.

Police said John Leska, of West Pike Run Township, told investigators he was woken up shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday by several people who had entered his Oak Road home.

Leska told police he grabbed his .45-caliber pistol when he heard intruders in his living room.....

A wheelchair-bound former Marine took matters into his own hands when intruders burst into his Washington County home in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

"And then they came in from all directions. It was like I was under attack here," said John Leska.

Leska told WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Shannon Perrine that his dog was the first to hear the three intruders inside his Oak Road home in West Pike Run Township at about 2 a.m.

"I went to grab for my sawed-off shotgun. I couldn't grab for that, so I grabbed for my pistol. It was right on the table there," said Leska, who showed Perrine where the bullet from his .45-caliber pistol went through a chair, hit a speaker and pierced a wall.

Leska told Perrine that he has his own theory as to why his home was targeted.....

Note to the Brady Bunch: a sawed off shotgun can be very useful to wheelchair bound veterans defending against home invaders, in addition to it's widespread use by Sicilian farmers.
