91-year-old neighbor saves woman from ex-boyfriend
Originally ran here <http://www.dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/news/news02/apr02/1175655.html> as:
"Man slain at ex-girlfriend's Clintonville house"
The Columbus Dispatch <http://www.dispatch.com/>
CLINTONVILLE, OHIO -- Police said a 91-year-old man might have been coming to the aid of a female neighbor last night when he fatally shot a 29-year-old man at a Clintonville home.
Officers were called about 8:30 p.m. to 269 E. Lincoln Ave. When they arrived, they found the body of the younger man lying in the driveway.
He was the former boyfriend of the woman who lives at the house, police said. They did not further identify either man or the woman, who was being questioned.
The younger man allegedly came to the home, kicked in the back door and began beating the woman.
The woman's elderly neighbor, who was inside her house, then fired a gun at the man. After he was shot, the younger man stumbled out of the house and fell to the driveway.
Columbus Police Sgt. Eric Pilya said the shooting could be a case of self-defense.
Officers said that there was a history of police runs to the house for domestic problems and that the woman and the younger man had parted ways about a year ago.
The windshield of the woman's daughter's car, which was parked on the street near the house, was smashed Monday night. Police were checking whether that incident was related to the shooting.
