He reported the burglary to police.<\/p>\n<p>But the burglar or burglars had left several items behind such as televisions \u2014 perhaps, he thought, with the intent to return later to get them.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why McGown, who usually sleeps in a first-floor bedroom, slept upstairs with the Sig Sauer handgun that wasn\u2019t stolen.<\/p>\n<p>Just after 5 a.m. Tuesday, he heard someone ringing his doorbell.
