Security guard Miguel Amaya was on his way to work overnight when he heard a noise. He slammed on the brakes and saw an 18-year-old man in the backseat. The two men began fighting.
"I noticed he had something big in his pocket so I was like, 'Stop or I'm going to shoot.' He didn't stop so I shot. I went for the legs because I didn't want to kill the dude," said Amaya.
The burglar was taken to the hospital. Amaya was not hurt.
