The resident, Daniel McGown, told officers that he heard someone ring his doorbell several times and shortly thereafter heard someone yelling from inside his house.
McGown, a retired attorney, responded to the commotion by grabbing his 9mm pistol from under his pillow in a second floor bedroom. He brought the loaded gun to the living room, where he confronted the suspect.
“I pointed the pistol at him and said, ‘If you don’t move, I won’t shoot you.’ He said, ‘Don’t shoot me,'” McGown told News 5.
