80-year-old Armed WV Man Stops Three Armed Robbers

Sorry, Gawker, but here is yet another elderly citizen showing just how capable they are of handling a weapon.

And little pischers who think they’re too old and weak to stand up to anyone.

According to a press release from the Fairmont Police Department, an 80-year-old Fairmont, WV man used deadly force against three people attempting to rob him Tuesday morning.

The armed robbers, John Grossklaus, 28, Larry Shaver, 28, and Whitney Kabiru, 23, worked together to gain access to the elderly man’s home. Kabiru approached the home and knocked on the elderly man’s door, asking to use his phone for an emergency. When he allowed her to enter, her accomplices, dressed in dark clothes, burst into the home, flashed a gun and demanded the homeowner surrender his valuables.

Rather than become a victim, the 80-year-old homeowner drew his own weapon and shot at the three armed robbers.

Fairmont Police found Shaver dressed in black lying in the road with a gunshot wound to his head and pronounced him dead at the scene. Grossklaus was found across the street shot in the torso. Kabiru fled the scene but is now in police custody.
