A Texas man is injured, but he and his family are safe after he fought off several armed home invaders last Thursday. 

According to local media reports, when the homeowner’s son went to check a knock at the door around 2 a.m., four suspects—at least one armed with a gun—burst through the door. The son yelled to warn his father, who came armed to handle the situation.

After a brief shootout, in which the homeowner and one suspect were injured, the other intruders fled the scene. Responding officers later located at least two potential suspects, and they are currently being held in custody while the investigation continues.
