Former WWE Star Jim 'Hacksaw' Duggan Stops Home Intruder At Gunpoint

Former wrestler Jim "Hacksaw" Duggan is revealing a terrifying event that occurred at his home recently.

The 2011 WWE Hall of Famer stopped a home intruder at gunpoint last week.

When speaking to Wrestling Inc. on Friday, the former WWE star said that a man in his mid-20s entered his home located in South Carolina at approximately 6:45 p.m. on Thursday. In an attempt to stop him, Duggan wrestled the intruder to the ground, grabbed his .44 caliber pistol, and held him at gunpoint.

Duggan's wife, Debra, then heard other noises and commotion in their neighborhood that the couple believed was related to the man breaking into their home, so they proceeded to tell the intruder to be quiet while Debra called 911. The intruder then warned the couple that people were after the WWE star and wanted to kill him.

That is when Duggan kept his hand on the man's back, with the gun in his other hand ready to use it as protection if needed until the cops arrived.

After the police got to their property, they did a quick investigation and came to find out that the intruder was reportedly running from another group of people who were involved in a "separate legal matter".

The former WWE wrestler also shared the details of the event to his social media page

"We would like to thank the Kershaw County Sheiff's Department for their prompt and professional response last week," he wrote. "A man who we had never seen before climbed our fence, ran through our yard to our front door, and was pounding on our glass doors."

"Before we could get to the door, he opened it and fell into our house," he continued. "I held him at gunpoint while Debra called 911. We are safe with no damage."

The former WWE star concluded by thanking everyone once again. "Thanks to everyone for the concern and well wishes!"

Earlier this year, the former WWE wrestler announced that he will be restarting treatment to fight cancer that returned.

"I hope you enjoyed the pictures and videos of our travels," Duggan, who battled prostate cancer last year, said in a video, "We've been having a great time."

"But reality is here, and I'm afraid I have some bad news," he confessed. "It seems like my cancer treatment is not over, even after the removal of my prostate last October. Tomorrow, I'm having my second hormone shot and Tuesday I'm being set up for radiation treatment, which will be eight weeks, five days a week."

There was some good news, though. "The doctors are very optimistic that they caught it early," he continued to say in the video. "But still, it's a very terrifying time for me and my family."

The former WWE wrestler continued, "The doctors also said to go ahead and live life, which we're gonna do. So, I'm afraid I'm gonna make most shows, but some shows, I'm gonna have to postpone or cancel. And I'm sorry about that, but that's the way it's got to be."
