The search headed north and then at 10:10 p.m., a resident called police and reported that a short Hispanic male with no shirt and wearing dark pants had entered his garage while the homeowner was in it, and grabbed a .22 rifle that was leaning in the corner of the garage.
"The homeowner drew a pistol and fired at Cavalcante as he fled with the rifle," Bivens said, but Cavalcante is not believed to be injured from the shots fired.
[facepalm]He had a clear shot at the guy at inside-a-garage distance, and he missed? Multiple times? Mucking foron.[/facepalm]
That's the difference between "being armed" and "having a gun." The homeowner was unarmed with a gun.
