The man had no choice. He had to shoot a Bible. This Bible was armed with a knife.

A homeowner shot a knife-wielding burglar who attacked him Wednesday night, authorities said.
Jerry Bible, 62, went through surgery at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for a gunshot wound to the upper torso. He'll face burglary charges upon release, a.inline_topic:hover { background-color: rgb(234, 234, 234); } Knox County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Martha Dooley said.
Bible caught the bullet after he lunged at Daniel Kiser outside Kiser's barn at 2907 Shipe Road around 11 p.m., Dooley said.
Kiser, who told deputies he's suffered repeated break-ins over the past eight months, went to the barn armed with a Beretta 9mm pistol after a motion detector went off, Dooley said. He saw a gate open and fired when Bible came at him, Dooley said.
Deputies found Bible's knife lying under a machine near the spot where he fell, authorities said.
