PITTSBURGH -- Authorities say an elderly man pointed a gun at an ambulance crew then fired a shot into the ceiling after the medics entered the wrong apartment while responding to a call in Wilkinsburg.
-----
"There were two big, husky men. I no sooner got down the hall and they were standing in my living room," said Charles Honesty.
The EMS supervisor said a manager led the crew to a door in the Wilkinsburg apartment building and the medics forced their way in after repeatedly knocking on the door and getting no response.
The 85-year-old resident grabbed a handgun and fired one shot into the ceiling, prompting one medic to flee and call police.
"That was my warning shot. The next one was going into him," Honesty said.
