One lucky burglar. Maybe he will learn a lesson.

A Luger in the Korean War? There is something strange about this claim.

Life imitates ..."Get off my lawn".Good film...certainly not the best he's ever done but still good.The Cambodians were really good,so good that I would have strangled those young "punks" myself.

"I said 'Halt, who's there?'" He should have said "Thunder" and fired when he did not get the appropriate response of "Flash."

Yeah that was my thought as well. Maybe it was a Lugar? Actually just kidding on that one.

German Luger he used in the Korean War. ????
I bet there's a great story behind that ...

I didn’t know doors and storm door windows had necks?!?!

"I said 'Halt, who's there?'" I like it better when they say, "Stop, >>BANG<< >>BANG<< >>BANG<< >>BANG<< >>BANG<<, or I'll shoot..."

The bullet grazed Hiles in the back of the neck, as well as a door and storm door window. I'm feeling bad about the door and storm window.

Which “Elizabeth Twp”? Practically every county in Pennsylvania has one. I lived in one (Lancaster County) and near another (Allegheny County).

I’m guessing Allegheny County. The one in Lancaster County has no police force, as far as I know. Plus you’re more likely to run into a loaded rifle in Allegheny. A lot of Philly transplants live in northern Lancaster County.

Yes, this is at the far southern tip of Allegheny County.
Close to some former steel mill towns where civilization has basically collapsed (Clairton, Monessen, Donora....)
To: Buckeye McFrog
What I thought. Also, the Elizabeth Twp in Lancaster usually gets tagged “Lititz”, which is the nearest significant town.

The reporter said it was a German Luger. He may have simply meant ‘handgun’. You know how reporters are sticklers for those sorts of things.

Fred Ricciutti shot him with the German Luger he used in the Korean War.An american soldier would obviously not have used a German luger as a sidearm in the Korean War. However, the Soviet Union had huge stockpiles of captured German weapons from WWII that they in turn supplied many commnist forces around the world with.
Mr Ricciutti may have obtained the luger from a NORK or ChiCom that no longer had any use for it.
