Home invasion victims fight back, prevent robbery
Jan 24, 2006, 11:41 AM PST

Two victims in an attempted home robbery scared away their intruders Monday night when one victim pointed a gun at one of the suspects.

Police say two suspects tried to open the door of a home on Holcomb Avenue. One resident heard a noise and opened the door.

The suspects then pushed their way into the home, grabbing one victim by the throat and demanded money. One suspect went to the back bedroom where a female victim pointed a hand gun at the suspect, scaring both suspects away from the home.

This is the second recent home invasion in which a home owner was able to protect themselves while frightening off the suspects.
