The victim was sleeping in his living room at about 1:45 a.m. on May 7, when he was woken up by sounds that were later determined to be a man forcing open the front door to the home on Leisure Lane in Allen Township. The 54-year-old homeowner grabbed his firearm and yelled at the burglar, “I have a weapon,” state police said. The burglar paused in the doorway, with one foot in the home and one foot out, then ran away.
