Family Recalls Horror Of Halloween Holdup, Shooting
A massive manhunt is on for four teens who used Halloween as a cover-up for a brutal crime.
On Monday night, they shot an 84-year-old man inside his Price Hill home and outraged the entire community, Channel 9's Tom McKee reported Tuesday evening.
Charles Iles remained in critical condition Tuesday after he was gunned down in his own home by four thugs posing as trick-or-treaters.
Charles and his wife of 59 years, Ada, were at home at 826 Terry Avenue Monday night handing out candy to neighborhood children.
Then, at 9 p.m., a knock for treats turned into gunfire that has torn a family apart.
"I'm very angry," Charles' son, Steve Iles, told McKee Tuesday.
Steve was at his dad's house Mon
day night and made this call to 911 after hearing the gunshots:
Steve: Some people just tried
to rob us and they got a gun and they shot my Dad.
Dispatcher: They did what?
Steve: They shot my Dad twice.
The shooting happened as Halloween night was winding down.
"They knocked on the door and [Ada] opened the door and said 'trick or treat is over.' That's when they grabbed the door and barreled in," Steve said.
He was upstairs watching TV when he heard the two pops and rushed to investigate.
"As soon as I opened that door, my Dad said, 'don't come in here.' They got guns and they took off. That's when he said, 'I'm shot,'" Steve recalled.
"The first time they shot him -- one guy shot him ---- they asked for money. He said, 'we ain't got any.' And then he must have reached for the phone and the second guy shot him."
