Three men hanging out in a Washington garage fought off a pair of armed robbers who barged in and stuck a rifle in their faces, wild home security video shows.
A series of videos shared online shows two men with hoods, masks and a rifle storming into the garage while the three victims are seated at a table drinking beers. One is wearing plaid pajamas as the other has on a bright blue hoodie.
"Give me your s---!" one of the masked men demands.
"Everything," the other adds.
As the victims remain seated, the man with the gun smacks one in the face. A moment later, the victims lunge at their attackers, tackling them to the ground and sending furniture clattering around the room.
The struggle spills outside, another video shows, where the victims wrestle away the gun. The action moves in and out of view, but one of the suspects’ legs can be seen flailing as two of the victims pummel him in the driveway.
The home invaders eventually flee in a stolen white Mercedes-Benz, crashing into a parked car in the driveway before shifting into reverse and leaving the scene.
A third video shows the victims walking back into the garage, holding the rifle and lowering the door as they catch their breaths.
The thwarted attack took place on Oct. 26, according to court documents, but the video emerged Monday on an Instagram account called @SeattleSubmissions.
Tacoma police told Fox News Digital they are not distributing the video but that the clips circulating online are authentic.

Above is a recent video from Renton (near Seattle). Two guys are depositing their winnings from a casino at an outdoor ATM. At 3 am. Two other guys approach them and start grabbing at them. One of the two other guys that had approached and started grabbing gets shot dead.
The TV reporter says that the “victim” was the one shot, and was only looking for their car keys when “an argument” broke out.
I would bet $20 that surveillance cameras would show the other guys at the same casino, and they followed the guys with the money. (Must have had a second set of car keys!)
Yes G.I. Vietnam man love to fight. He be boocoo dinky dow.
Well, the REAL answer is to NEVER DRINK BEER WITH YOUR BUDDIES IN YOUR GARAGE UNARMED!
I thought the same thing initially, but there are 3 separate links in the first 3 paragraphs of the story on the FOX site. They take you to 3 separate videos on Instagram of the altercation (beginning, middle/end and aftermath).
The intended victims took care of business. The perps attempted to use a rifle as a "close-up" weapon with the barrel within reach of the victims. Once they controlled the barrel and pointed it towards the ground the perps were F'd and eventually had the gun taken away. Amateur hour criminals.
Well, that helped, thanks. Wish these posters would just put the link up in the comments.
