A 77-year-old Flint man refused to give in to a would-be robber, instead fending off his assailant with a two-liter bottle of Pepsi before suffering a gunshot wound to the groin.
The Flint Journal reports Pat Gillespie is recovering at home after the shooting Thursday afternoon.
Gillespie says he was unloading groceries outside his home when one of two men pointed a gun and told him to empty his pockets. Gillespie tells the newspaper he "didn't want to give them nothing" and hit the gunman with a bag containing the Pepsi bottle. The men ran off, but shot Gillespie once.
Gillespie says he would join neighbors Friday afternoon when they call on leaders at City Hall to do a better job in fighting crime.
