A 92-year-old World War II veteran shot and killed a suspected robber who attempted to break into his Kentucky home Monday morning. Two other men allegedly involved in the botched home invasion were caught and are now in the local jail, WLWT reports.

“Somebody got into the basement, this is a full basement and I was on the bed fixing to go to bed,” Jones told WPCO. “And I’m very sensitive, I was in the military, you have to have good ears. And I heard something just as I sat down, ‘clonk, clonk, clonk,‘ and I said well somebody is in the basement and he’s going to come upstairs.
So I heard him when he was coming up the steps, I had the gun so I was sitting there when he opened the door.”
“As soon as he got inside, it was all over,” the veteran added. Jones told officials that Monday morning’s incident was the third time his home has been broken into, WPCO reports.
“I’ve been robbed so much in the past five weeks, I said it’s going to have to be a message to the people. The only way you’re going to stop this is you have to leave one laying in the grass,” Jones said.
