Remember the elderly, South Shore, Chicago woman who shot a 12-year-old boy after he allegedly broke her windows and threatened her with a brick? It seems Chicago’s vigilante granny has some stiff competition.

Police say when 3 boys threw rocks at a Louisville, Kentucky man’s house and pick-up truck, the 62-year-old Charles Bronson wanna-be took matters into his own hands.

Clearly, Archie Ashley plays by the “3 strikes you’re out” rule, because when rocks struck his property a third time, he reportedly retrieved his gun and fired several shots at the boys. One bullet struck 15-year-old Andrew Elliot in the back. Police found Elliot’s body in a nearby alley.

After the shooting, Ashley allegedly collected his shell casings and threw them away. Police never found them. Ashley’s gun was found in his bathroom.

Just like Chicago’s vigilante granny, Ashley has his share of supporters. People are saying that what happened to 15-year-old Andrew Elliot, is the price children pay, when they misbehave and threaten someone’s property or well-being.

"He came out and just told them don't be throwing rocks at his pick-up truck. [He was] protecting his home; I mean he worked hard for his house,” said one of Ashley’s sympathetic neighbors.

According to police records, Ashley has been arrested in the past for traffic violations and drug-related charges. Monday, he was charged with murder and evidence tampering.

  4. you should be shot just for saying that about an innocent child being shot,throwing rocks at a house and/or car is no reason to shot at anyone,especially a child. that old bastard is where he belongs,in jail. i hope he rots his old ass in there until he dies!
