Man, 93, Shoots Violent Robber

I thought everyone could use a feel good story this morning.

Willie Lee Hill, 93, told police he saw the robber while in his bedroom Wednesday night. Hill confronted the man and was struck at least 50 times, police said. He was knocked unconscious. Covered in blood, Hill regained consciousness a short time later and pulled a .38-caliber handgun on his attacker. The suspect, Douglas B. Williams Jr., saw the gun and charged the man, who fired a bullet that struck Williams in the throat, police said. Police plan to charge Williams with residential burglary, second- degree battery, theft of property and theft by receiving.
