A day after being brutally attacked, Walt Eastwood is home, recovering from the beating and pistol whipping he received from three young men.
"Well, they just banged all over my head. Had to be the pistol ... and when i got down here they kicked the living hell out of me," said Eastwood.
The attack occurred late Tuesday afternoon at Eastwood's home near Sunnyside and First in Clovis. Eastwood says when he answered the door they forced their way in, beat him and headed straight for his hidden safe.
"That safe, I believe they had to know somebody had to tell them where it is. Very few people knew where that safe was at," said Eastwood.
Eastwood says they took cash, along with a collection of silver dollars, and his wife's diamond ring. When asked what would he say to his attackers, Eastwood says, he would tell them to get some help ... to straighten out their lives before it's too late.
Eastwood said, "I don't know if they were gang members or what they were or who they were. I don't hate anybody, but if I'd had a gun and had a chance I'd probably have killed them."
Eastwood says he hates the idea, but says he may get a gun. Clovis Police are following possible leads from neighbors, but haven't identified any suspects.
