An 80-year-old man shot a would-be robber in a Hialeah parking lot Friday afternoon.
The suspect is 73 years old.
Police said Julio Perez-Delgado pepper sprayed and punched the older man as the man entered his car outside the Royal Arcade, 5440 West 16th Ave. He demanded the man turn over his money, but Ernesto Del Monte instead reached for his firearm inside his pocket and fired several shots at Perez-Delgado.
Riddled with bullets, Perez-Delgado took off. Police eventually found him about a half-mile away after receiving a call of a man down with multiple gunshot wounds in front of 1910 West 56th St.
80-year-old shoots would-be robber, 73, who attacked him with pepper spray, cops say
It always comes back to something I think I heard from Clint Smith related by a third party: You do not know what your attacker will look like. And You can imagine more than one Gun Control advocate insisting that somebody that old should not carry a gun because he is frail and can’t see very well, that it would be a hazard for the good citizens of Hialeah and to Do It For The Children!®
