The 36-year-old man was inside his garage around 2 p.m. that Wednesday afternoon, when another individual approached from the street. the stranger approached the man, with a knife held in hand. In response to the sudden threat, cornered in his own garage, the resident produced a firearm and shot his would-be assailant.
