A gun-toting business owner caught a would-be burglar in the act Sunday, but the suspect risked being shot to get away before police arrived.

The owner of an automotive shop in the 200 block of Dallas Drive in Denton was doing paperwork Sunday morning when he heard banging noises, according to a police report released Monday. He walked to the back of the shop and saw a man trying to use a screwdriver and hammer to force open a rollup door, according to the report.

The shop owner told police that the suspect started approaching him, so he raised a handgun he keeps with him at work and told the suspect to get on his knees and stay there. He then called 911 from a cellphone.

The shop owner told police the suspect then started begging to leave, saying he was homeless, had a family and had already been to prison.....
