The homeowner, Wallace Turner, told police he, his wife and 5-year-old daughter were sleeping around 1:45 a.m., when the intruder kicked in the back door.

Turner said he grabbed his handgun and ran down the hall to confront the burglar who was standing in his living room.

Turner said, "He wasn't getting past me. My wife and daughter were behind me."

Turner told 24-Hour News 8 the burglar repeatedly said "sorry" as they waited for police. Wallace said his only response was "don't move."

Nice to see another firearm used properly, threat stopped family safe and sound.

What could he have done differently?
