When four intruders blocked the road to his house and tried to break into his home to kidnap his 17 year-old daughter, the teen’s 51 year-old father used his gun to save her.

After his dogs started barking and his motion-activated flood lights went on, the man spotted the four intruders trying to break into his garage. He grabbed his gun, fired three shots, and the intruders fled.

After a neighbor identified the getaway vehicle, police arrested the four suspects and charged them with attempted kidnapping and attempted home invasion robbery.
