An 80-year-old man in Texarkana, Ark., was at home when 25-year-old Garrett Heath Halbert allegedly entered the residence and began assaulting him. The homeowner was wounded during the altercation but managed to fatally shoot Albert. The homeowner was taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Police are investigating the case, but it appears that this armed citizen legally used a firearm to even the odds against an attacker who physically outmatched him.
