Read Time:1 Minute, 17 Second
Not everyone collecting medicare is incapable of defending themselves, as three Pennsylvania teens discovered when they decided to mess with a man who wasn’t bothering anyone.
A 65-year-old man who was knocked off his bicycle by three teenagers on a Pennsylvania trail shot two of them, killing one, police said according to reports.
The Reading Eagle newspaper said the wounded teen, 16, was taken to hospital and the third, aged 15, was taken in for questioning and was later committed to a youth center.
The paper said the mother of the slain boy, 16, asked officials not to release his name until she had been able to tell other members of the family what happened.
The incident happened on the Thun Trail near a bridge over the Schuylkill River, between Reading and West Reading just after noon Wednesday.
“There was one juvenile who was shot and is deceased [and] another juvenile who was shot and is in surgery,” Police Chief Jed Habecker said, according to a report by the WFMZ-TV station.
According to police, the 65-year-old was riding his bicycle when the teens knocked him to the ground, the station said.
Police said two teens then assaulted the man, who drew his gun and shot them.
The man was released by police after they consulted with District Attorney John Adams late Wednesday, WFMZ reported.

Sounds like a chimpout that went badly (for the chimps that is).
I’m torn between mourning the loss of that young man and asking if the senior citizen had a handgun or managed to stuff a .30-06 down his pants.
Good point Erin
That is a tragedy, but you got to watch out for grumpy old guys.
