Awesome self-defense story from a WWII veteran

Earl Jones, a 92 year old WWII Army Air Force veteran, was home alone sitting in his chair. He had been victimized twice already this year when intruders broke into his home. Mr. Jones lives in a rural area, and with help being too far away, he was at the mercy of the violent home invaders that kept victimizing him. Suddenly he heard the door of his basement being kicked in for the 3rd time this year, but Earl Jones was ready this time around. Choosing to no longer be a victim at the mercy of home invaders, he had with him a .22LR rife.

The war hero calmly got his .22LR rifle, sat back in the chair, and waited for the inevitable showdown with the home invaders. Suddenly three well built young men in their 20's burst into the home intending to prey on the frail WWII veteran. But Mr. Jones calmly raised his rifle as the men began to rush him, and carefully aimed for the heart of the invader that was closest to him. He shot Lloyd Maxwell (one of the criminals) in the heart, instantly killing him with one shot. In doing so, Earl Jones most likely saved his life. His only regret was that he couldn't shoot the two other criminals before they had a chance to flee (some might consider this statement from Mr. Jones to be controversial, but the man is a WWII veteran and is sick of being terrorized in his own home by younger men much stronger than him, so I understand his frustration.)
