Soon after, he was greeted with a gun by another man, later identfied by police as Marquan Humphrey, 26. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were talking for a second, because it&#8217;s 2 in the morning, I&#8217;m trying to catch up, and the next thing you know a man with a rifle ran up talking about, &#8216;Give me everything,'&#8221; Thomas said. <\/p>\n<p>A struggle unfolded at the home on Northwest 85th Street, where Thomas lives with his grandmother and great-grandmother. <\/p>\n<p>The two elderly women tried to defend themselves from the man and woman invading their home. <\/p>\n<p>Thomas said his grandmother fought back with a brick while he took the man&#8217;s gun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I turned the rifle around just in time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I had enough strength from seeing them hit my grandmother to actually shoot the man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thomas said an officer patrolling around the corner heard the shots and responded immediately. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 2 \/ 0<br \/>\nA brick?
