LOS ANGELES — Surveillance cameras captured a homeowner opening fire on would-be robbers who tried jumping him as he approached his front door, police said. The man, holding a drink in his right hand and reaching for keys with his left, approached his front door through an outdoor corridor, footage showed. That's when a suspect, wearing a ski mask and dressed in black, came up from behind, put a gun into the homeowner's back and demanded money, police said.

That first suspect also opened fire before jumping into a dark-colored sedan, driven by a third suspect, police said, as the second assailant fled on foot. The homeowner told NBC Los Angeles that he's licensed to carry a concealed weapon and that he opened fire in defense of his wife and child inside. “Just to make this clear, for everybody out there, there’s nothing in my house worth dying over, to come and to try and get.
