One Texas homeowner who survived a carjacking attempt that involved a gun in his face came away with a story to tell of two “bamboozled” would-be thieves.
Houston police released a surveillance video of the Jan. 25 incident on Friday.
The video shows the man putting trash in a can when a young man in a hoodie pointed a gun with an extended magazine at him.
“The gun was in my face the whole time,” the homeowner, who asked not to be identified, told KRIV-TV.
The video shows the would-be carjacker demanding the keys to the man’s car.
“Came up on me with a loaded 9mm gun with an extended clip, probably at least 40 bullets or so. So, you know, they wanted the car,” the homeowner said.
Then the plan, such as it was, fell apart.
