Video captured by a doorbell camera system shows a teen entering through the unlocked front door of a home around 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Behind him stands a second teenager, armed with a rifle.But that teen never made it inside. Nicholas, who asked that we not use his last name, was down the hall getting ready for bed when he heard his front door open."I turned around. I see a silver pistol in the guy's right hand. My dog barks and I yell, 'What the hell are you doing?" Nicholas told WLKY on Friday.The teen took off, and Nicholas called 911. Later, when he pulled up the video for police, he realized the young man had not been working alone."The hair on the back of my neck stood up because, the whole time, I was thinking, 'It's one guy with a pistol,'" Nicholas said."Since yesterday, I really consider myself lucky and blessed. There's a thousand different ways it could have gone. I don't know how it could have gone much better than it did," Nicholas said.He said that's thanks to his dogs, especially Ted, a rescue, who started barking."Yesterday, they both had two T-bones a piece. Today, they've had two hamburgers and Italian sausage. Tomorrow it's probably going to be filet mignon. They definitely deserve it."Police were later able to arrest five juveniles and told WLKY the teens had been in a car that was reported stolen.
