Would-be burglars of a Wynnewood home fled Thursday afternoon after the homeowner fired a handgun at them, Lower Merion Township spokesman Tom Walsh said.

The Charles C. Knox Home in Wynnewood, home to 24 senior citizens, announced this week that the facility will close, citing financial concerns. “Times have changed dramatically since the Knox Home opened its doors in 1941,” Board Member Bob Latshaw said in a press release. “Seniors are living longer and 'independent living' is no longer a reality.
