HOUSTON - Two armed robbers tried to steal wallets and a purse from a man and woman as they got out of their car Tuesday night in the Briar Village neighborhood near Highway 6 and Westheimer Road.
They had just pulled into their driveway after dinner when the two armed and masked men came up. One of the suspects put a gun to the homeowner's neck and demanded he hand over his wallet.
"They wanted his valuables and he resisted," said Richard King, who lives two houses away.
King heard the commotion and came outside.
"I heard some muffled gun shots and some shouting," he said.
The homeowner, who asked not to be identified, told Channel 2 News he didn't want to be a victim. He fought back and wrestled with the gunman for about 40 seconds on the driveway, bit him in the arm, got the gun away and even fired off a few rounds.
"He is a tough guy," King said. "They probably picked the absolute worst guy in the neighborhood to pick on."

Loses his gun and his nads.
And will probably spend some time in jail.
A word to the wise.
