WEST PIKE RUN TOWNSHIP, Pa. –
A wheelchair-bound former Marine took matters into his own hands when intruders burst into his Washington County home in the early morning hours of Wednesday.“And then they came in from all directions. It was like I was under attack here,” said John Leska.
Leska told WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Shannon Perrine that his dog was the first to hear the three intruders inside his Oak Road home in West Pike Run Township at about 2 a.m.
“I went to grab for my sawed-off shotgun. I couldn’t grab for that, so I grabbed for my pistol. It was right on the table there,” said Leska, who showed Perrine where the bullet from his .45-caliber pistol went through a chair, hit a speaker and pierced a wall.
Leska told Perrine that he has his own theory as to why his home was targeted.
“Because it’s secluded, hidden back in here. Nobody knows much about it, and they figured they were back here looking at my gun case so they thought they’d take all those guns and trade them in for a big pile of crack or something,” said Leska.
As for those who invaded his home, Leska also has a message for them.
“I’d like for them to come back and try again. Maybe I could get better luck next time. I could draw some blood,” said Leska.
Police have not made any arrests.
