home invasion

3 unlucky home invaders picked the wrong house to burglarize in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

High definition surveillance video shows three armed black males kicking in a door at a northwest Atlanta residence around 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 16.

The pistol packing homeowner surprised the home invaders as they searched the house for valuables.

The homeowner and the suspects exchanged gunfire as the burglars fled the house. One of the suspects ran through a glass door to escape the hail of gunfire.

The woman unloaded her gun at the home invaders while simultaneously calling 911 on her cell phone.

A housemate took the gun away from the woman after the shooting.

Antonio Leeks, 28, was pronounced dead in the driveway of the house. He died from a single gunshot wound to the upper body.

“It’s not common that we receive this caliber of surveillance video showing the crime unfold,” said Gwinnett County Cpl. Deon Washington.

Washington said he hopes releasing the video will help identify the other 2 burglars who were not wearing masks.

Police are trying to determine whether the house was specifically targeted for robbery.
