Suspect shot by elderly vet charged
Advertisements [?]
The Pulteney homeowner, Stephen Boyechko – an 80-year-old who fought with the Ukrainian underground against the Germans and Russians during World War II – told The Leader he was napping with his wife the evening of Aug. 20 when he was awakened by the sound of breaking glass and found Peterson crawling through his bathroom window of his isolated rural home.

Boyechko grabbed his registered handgun and went to confront the intruder. He said Peterson rushed him, and he shot him in the abdomen and groin, then called 911. The two men waited in silence for police to arrive, and Peterson was later airlifted to the hospital.

Peterson was arrested upon his release from Rochester’s Strong Memorial Hospital, where he was being treated for gunshot wounds while under police guard.

I wonder how long it took police to show up. Must be really out in the sticks if the air lifted the burglar.
