Two Bartow County men heard screams for help from a neighboring house. Taking up pistols, they ran to assist. They found their 86-year-old neighbor being beaten with a metal pipe by an unknown assailant. When they tried to break up the attack, the attacker punched one man in the jaw and began struggling with the other rescuer for his pistol. Both neighbors then shot the attacker, one in the stomach and the other in the leg. The attacker is expected to survive, though he will face charges of burglary, aggravated assault and criminal trespass. The victim survived the attack. His condition was unknown at the time the press covered the story.
