It was just before 3 a.m. when Dennis Reif heard the commotion in his kitchen.<\/p>\n

“I got my gun out of the drawer because I heard someone smashing in here and I saw a flashlight beam,” Reif said.<\/p>\n

Reif says he came face to face with Chris Born, who he claims fired four shots at him, but missed.<\/p>\n

That’s when Reif grabbed his .38 caliber revolver and shot Born twice in the chest.<\/p>\n

“I just quickly leveled at him and fired to protect myself and he screamed and yelled he was hit,”Reif said.<\/p>\n

“When the shots were fired they dropped everything and left the residence,” Pontotoc County Sheriff John Christian said.<\/p>\n

Investigators say Born took off with Dustin Hoots in a pickup, they were caught after a short chase, but Hoots, the second burglary suspect ran off and is still missing.<\/p>\n

Two other women, Jeanette Matthews and Tara Whittecar were in a separate pickup, and were also arrested.<\/p>\n

The sheriff says he thinks they were acting as the lookout for born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said an older man…attempted to rob a residence on Proby Road…the resident was shot in the hand, but the resident’s return fire proved fatal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Houston, Texas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The mother and father opened up to Eyewitness News about the violent attack. It happened just before 7 p.m. outside the Taqueria Mexico stand, off Airline Drive near Parker Road on the city’s north side.<\/p>\n

The couple had their four young children with them at the time, ages 3 to 8. They asked we not identify them out of safety concern.<\/p>\n

“My daughter had told me, ‘Mom, I thought he was going to kill daddy,’ My daughter said that. My 8-year-old,” said the mother. “Oh my gosh. It was horrible. You know he had the gun to my husband’s head. It felt like a nightmare. I’m like I can’t believe this is happening.”<\/p>\n

The father said he went and placed an order. As he returned with the tacos, a gunman showed up and pulled at his door. The gunman demanded the family get out of the vehicle. The father said he resisted at first. Mom said she frantically pulled the kids to safety.<\/p>\n

While she did that, the father reached for his own gun.<\/p>\n

“I always carry a weapon in the cars,” said the father. “As I started walking back, he jumps in the car. So when he jumped in the car, I went around the back of the car. I pulled the gun out. I loaded it. I put my hands inside the car and shot him.”<\/p>\n

The father told ABC13 he believes he struck the suspect in the hand. The gunman dropped his weapon and fled with another suspect.<\/p>\n

Houston police said they are investigating the case and are now looking for at least three young men in their late teens to early 20s.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
