Martin Garrison was asleep on his brother’s couch when, according to police, five people intent on burglary pulled up outside. Two armed suspects invaded the home while their accomplices waited in the car. “I thought it was all a bad dream,” Roger Garrison said. “I didn’t know what their intentions were. It was scary.” When one of the burglars pointed a weapon at Martin, he drew a .25-caliber handgun from under the couch and shot one of the burglars three times. The wounded burglar died on the scene. Police were led to the dead man’s accomplices when they answered incoming calls to his cell phone. “My brother is still real upset about it,” Roger explained. “Robberies are something you hear about, but you never want to go through one.” (Star-Banner, Ocala, FL, 07/23/08)
