A 73-year-old Ohio man pulled a loaded gun on an alleged home invader and detained the man at gunpoint until police arrived and took him into custody.

“They picked the wrong house,” said Akron resident Daniel McGown who, in an interview with WEWS-TV, described the tense moments when on the morning of Aug. 27, he found himself face-to-face with a burglar.
