Dallas man fires through front door to fend off intruders

DALLAS (KABC) -- Two armed men who tried to break through the front door of an apartment in Dallas learned just how bad of an idea that was when the resident started firing at them through the door.

The resident says at first one of the men claimed to be a maintenance worker who needed to get inside.

When the man inside used an intercom to say no one was home, two armed men started trying to break open the door.

Video shows their shocked reaction as bullets blasted out through the door. Both ducked and ran off.

One of the men has been caught and taken into custody.
