Man, 90, Shot in Head Fights Back!

90-year-old Jay Leone of Greenbrae, California was shot in the face during an attempted home robbery.  He fought back for his life and ultimately returned fire, screaming:

"Now it's my turn!"

Jay Leone, a former sheriff's deputy, gave sworn testimony in a Marin County courtroom regarding the violent attack in his home where he was shot in the face by an intruder.

The attacker's bullet had entered Leone's jaw area and exited the back of his neck without killing the 90-year-old Northern Californian, who had been peacefully relaxing in his San Francisco Bay Area home at 10:45 in the morning.

Suddenly, hell was unleashed.

The wounded bloody senior relied on previous law enforcement training and experience as he said he needed to use the bathroom (where his five guns were stashed). The burglar refused, so the gutsy old man pulled his pants down and said, "'Do you like to watch people take a shit?"

The burglar allowed Leone use the bathroom but would not let him close the door.  Leone immediately found his Smith & Wesson 38-caliber snub-nose revolver and came out of the bathroom, firing back at the intruder with a vengeance.

"Fuck you, you son of a bitch!  Now it's my turn!" the injured senior citizen yelled as he fired five shots at suspect Samuel Joseph Cutrufelli, 30, of Novato. 

Three bullets hit the intruder in the stomach, but the suspect somehow managed to pull Leone down to the floor. 

After the two blood-covered men struggled, the violent burglar regained control of his gun and attempted to blast the old man's brains out at point-blank.

"He took the gun and put it to my head --- CLICK!" said Leone, who remains alive because the intruder's gun had run out of bullets.

"That was the end of that.  He ran away," recalled Jay Leone, a former member of the Marin County Sheriff's Air Patrol, who still exercises daily to stay in top shape at age 90.

Suspect Samuel Joseph Cutrufelli fled Leone's home and called 911 a few miles down the road, lying as he claimed that his own bullet wounds were 'self-inflicted.'

Brave Bay Area senior citizen Jay Leone spent over a week recovering from the most traumatic day of his life in a hospital where he contracted pneumonia and was fitted with a breathing tube.

"The doctor says I'm healing well," declares Leone, who is being heralded as a hero for bravely fighting back against his attacker after being shot in the head.

Nobody else will be attacked by the same violent criminal, who is now behind bars because of the bravery of California's own 90-year-old "Italian Stallion."

Jay Leone is one hell of a hero who makes Rocky Balboa proud.
