Army veteran shoots neighbor who broke into Akron home

AKRON, Ohio – A senior citizen, who is also an Army veteran, took matters into his own hands after a burglar charged into his Akron home.

The homeowner wrestled with the intruder and then shot him in the leg. 

Craig Noggle, 66, is sore from bruises on his lower back and arm after fighting for his life inside his home on Sullivan Avenue.
