    A 91-year-old West Orange County man rescued his 90-year-old wife Tuesday afternoon after a home invader put a gun to her head.

    The couple were sitting in the living room of their Lake Stanley Road home at about 4:40 p.m. when two robbers broke in, according to a press statement. The first one held the wife at gunpoint. The second entered shortly afterwards, distracting the gunman.

    When the gunman looked away, the elderly man grabbed a .38 caliber revolver hidden beneath a nearby sofa cushion and fired.

    Both suspects fled. The senior citizen and his wife were uninjured.

    No suspects were arrested.

    Good for the couple......too bad he didn't drill both of the dirtbags.

    Stay armed...always be watchful...stay safe!

    Good Lord.... I only hope I'm half that alert when I'm 91, heck, if I make it to 91 I'll be stoked.
