When you try to rob an 80-year-old man with a gun...

An 80-year-old Chicago man shot one of two home invaders who physically attacked him Monday morning, authorities told WMAQ-TV.

The man was inside a home in the 8500 block of West Catherine Avenue, which is near O’Hare International Airport, when two people knocked on the front door around 10:30 a.m., police told the station.

When the man opened the door, the two people “made entry without permission,” police noted to WMAQ.

At that point the man and the two intruders began fighting, with the man getting hit several times, the station said.
