91-Year Old Michigan Man Shoots Would Be Robber In Rite Aid Parking Lot


According to Fox 5 San Diego:

A robber in Michigan picked the wrong target.

Eastpointe police said a 91-year-old man shot a would-be robber in the parking lot of a Rite Aid pharmacy Monday morning.

According to WJBK, the 91-year-old had pulled into the pharmacy’s parking lot around 10:15 a.m. Monday and said he began to feel uneasy when the man – later identified as Richard Ashford – walked up to him, acting erratically.

The 91-year-old warned Ashford that he had a concealed pistol license, and Ashford walked away.

When the man got out of his car to enter the pharmacy, however, Ashford confronted him again, pulling out an “unknown object” and pointing it at him, police said. The 91-year-old drew his gun and fired, hitting Ashford in the neck.

Ashford fled the scene despite his wound, but police later captured him and took him to a local hospital for treatment.

Authorities charged Ashford with felonious assault.

“This elderly man’s self-defense is an entirely appropriate use of force,” Prosecutor Eric Smith said. “Facing imminent assault, he announced that he was armed, made attempts to withdraw, warned again that he held a weapon, and fired only when completely necessary.”

GO GRANDPA! 91 and aim still good!🎯

105-Year Old Lady Got Her Birthday Wish: Handsome Firefighters 

Or should I say G-DAY! Miss Ivy appears to be my kinda chick! For ‘105’ she looks DAMN AMAZING and still knows how to get a party started! 

I sincerely hope to have had 1/2 the fun she appears to have had in life by the time I reach even 1/2 her age. The most beautiful thing about this is …she’s still going strong ..or at least planning on it! I love how she can still call shots at 105 years of age, she was probably a force to be reckoned with in her prime. 

Cheers to life, and shot calling it to the fullest! 

According to AJC.com:

A 105-year-old got what she wanted for her birthday: a group of burly firefighters clamoring through her bedroom window.
Ivena Smailes lives in a senior care home in Crawcrook, England. Staff told ABC News that every year, Ivy gives them a special task for her birthday. This year, she wanted some hunky firemen to climb through her window.

Staff at Addison Court Care Home made it happen, scoring five firefighters from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Services who were more than happy to help celebrate Ivy’s birthday.

Staff at the senior care home say Ivy has a great sense of humor, so they weren’t at all surprised when she made the request.

The celebration included cake and singers, who performed Ivy’s favorite tunes by Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

Ivy isn’t slowing down either. She already has big plans for her next birthday: to meet Prince Harry.
