Grandpa shoots burglar who broke into his business with grandkids inside [Video]

A business owner and grandfather in Rancho Cordova, California, said he shot a burglar in the early morning hours of Nov. 24 in an effort to protect his grandsons, who were sleeping in the back of the store at the time.

“My babies were with me, and he was going to attack me,” the 70-year-old business owner named Robert told Fox News Digital. Robert opted not to share his last name for privacy reasons.

The Sacramento Sheriff’s Office confirmed the shooting on Nov. 25, saying they received a 911 call at 1:15 a.m. on Nov. 24, a Sunday, from a business owner on Folsom Boulevard “stating that someone broke into his business and he shot them.”

Officers with the Rancho Cordova Police Department and Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the scene, where they began lifesaving aid on the suspect. Authorities then transported the suspect to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
