> Police say the suspect fled, but called police less than a mile away, claiming to have

> KTVU spoke with a woman who was just steps away when the shooting started. Sara Navon

> She said she was not surprised that her landlord -- a former military man who also worked
> in law enforcement -- fought off the suspected intruder with deadly force.

> Navon didn't know it at first, but her 90-year-old landlord was in a fight for his life
> just one floor above her in the Greenbrae home where they both live.
> 
> "I shouted for him 'Jay! Jay!'" said Navon.
> 
> Leone had been shot in the face, but Navon said his act of bravery made good on a promise
> he made to her years ago.
> 
> "He always told me," remembered Navon. "Sometimes I would be scared. He said 'Don't worry.
> I'm above and I have a weapon. I was the best sniper.  I'm good.' And I said 'Ok!'"
> 
> Police said both men are in stable condition at Marin General Hospital.
> 
> The suspect Cutrufelli will be charged with burglary and attempted murder.
