WINTER HAVEN, Florida – When a stranger tried to break into the Pena family home, the Penas were ready for him.
“If this guy would’ve stayed home, he’d have been alive right now,” a neighbor told Fox 13 Orlando.
Early Monday morning, the Penas woke to the sound of 40-year-old Mitchell Large trying to break into their Winter Haven home through a porch door. Undeterred by a warning shot, Large burst into the kitchen.
