Alleged armed intruders tried to overtake a Los Angeles father as he was about to enter his home Saturday around 7:30 p.m., only to be find themselves fleeing under a barrage of bullets.
ABC 7 reported the father saying, “I guess they decided to try to come at me and come in the house but I have a five-month-old baby and a wife and a nanny in the house and that wasn’t going to happen.”
Surveillance video shows the father approaching his front door with a to-go cup of coffee in hand. It then shows one of the alleged intruders run up behind him with a gun.
The father spun around, swatted at the gun, then drew his own weapon and began firing. The alleged intruders fled under fire.
The father said, “Out of nowhere I felt someone run up behind me, put something to my back, put a pistol to my back and somebody running up.”
The Daily Mail noted, “The crime rate in Dem-led Los Angeles has soared following the defund police movement. The lax law enforcement has sparked an exodus of residents to Republican states such as Texas and Florida.”
