Home Depot Attack Leaves 78-Year-Old with Serious Injuries
A disturbing incident occurred at a Home Depot in Hutto, Texas, leaving a 78-year-old man seriously injured. Manuel Vera was attacked by a stranger with an axe while visiting the store near Ed Schmidt Boulevard and Chandler Road last Friday.
Vera's son, Larry Hopper, described the scene as 'shocking' and said his father suffered multiple injuries, including a skull fracture, wounds to his head and arms, a broken arm, and a broken finger. The suspect allegedly did not say anything before attacking Vera.
Hopper expressed concern about the mental impact on his father, stating that he would face 'a lot more challenging road mentally' than physically. He also emphasized the need for the perpetrator to face serious consequences, calling them 'a danger to society.'
