92-year-old, Jones, only needed a single shot from his .22-caliber rifle to take down an intruder at 2 a.m. Monday.
"I didn't go to war for nothing." Said Jones.
Take a look at this video:
"Was I scared? Was I mad? Hell, no," Jones said. "It was simple. That man was going to take my life.He was hunting me. I was protecting myself."
When 24-year-old Lloyd Maxwell and two accomplices burst into Jones' living room through the basement, it was the third break-in at Jones' home this year. He was waiting for them in a chair across the room. "I aimed right for his heart," said Jones.
Earl Jones later gave an interview which you can check out here.
