Another example of throwing a monkey wrench into the anti-gun campaigns of Sarah Brady and her ilk.

Los Angeles police say an 87-year-old man shot and critically wounded one of two burglars who attempted to break into his home.

A second suspect ran from the residence and remains at large.

Police say the homeowner found two men attempting to break into the rear of his residence at around 9 p.m. Tuesday. Fearing for his life, they say he armed himself with a handgun and fired at the intruders.

One man was shot and critically wounded. Detectives are still searching for the second man, who is facing felony burglary charges.

Police say the homeowner was acting in self-defense and is not expected to be charged with any crime.
