This is one of those stories that you hope isn't telling the whole story. Apparently, an 82 year old man discovered that two men (illegal aliens with prior charges no less) were stealing his trailer. The guy runs out after them, yells, and shoots holes through the front of the truck.
One of the thieves was hit and the other dropped him off at the hospital. The thieves haven't been charged with anything, but the old man faces 12 charges.
Colorado law states that you can't harm anyone (even if they are doing something illegal) unless it's self-defense. However, the old man shot the thieves through the front of the truck as they were trying to run over him. That sounds like self defense to me.
Here's the story:
