A concealed gun carrier in Los Angeles who was forced to defend himself and his family in a terrifying shooting outside his home demands that Los Angeles leaders prosecute criminals who terrorize law-abiding residents. .
“Everyone I know has gotten cocky,” Los Angeles businessman Vince Ricci told Fox News Digital this week. “It is not normal.”
Ricci said he was returning to his locked Los Angeles home Saturday night after going to the gym when two armed men jumped the fence and tried to force their way into his home.
“Out of nowhere, boom, he had a gun on his back. And there was another guy running at the same time and he couldn’t really understand what he was saying,” Ricci said, recounting the terrifying incident.
The attempted home invasion unfolded shortly before 7:30 p.m., when Ricci’s wife, her friend and the family’s babysitter were inside the home preparing dinner and putting Ricci’s almost 5-month-old daughter to bed. .
Security footage captured the entire terrifying scene and has since racked up thousands of views on social media.
The Los Angeles businessman said he was walking calmly toward the door of his house while listening to an audiobook that had captivated his attention when he noticed the men approaching him.

The heart-stopping moments were captured by his home’s surveillance camera. In the footage, Ricci can be seen getting out of his car as the door closes behind him. Closer to the video, two men are seen jumping over the door and trying to run towards him. Now, Ricci was coming home from the gym and had his headphones on along with his coffee in his hand, and he was completely unaware that the intruders were following him this whole time. Seconds later, one of the men tries to attack Ricci at gunpoint. However, he quickly throws his coffee at one of the masked robbers who are covered in black. The owner of Hubble Studios, who has a CCW permit and was armed, immediately pulled out his gun and started shooting at the armed guys. Although they attempted to flee, they attempted to harm Ricci by returning fire. His wife was on the other side of the door when they tried to shoot her again. Fortunately, Ricci and his wife were not injured. After the attack, the family filed a report with the LAPD Olympic Division. #losangeles #news #theft #hidden carry #surveillance #video #for you #crime #tiktok

The video shows Ricci holding a cup of hot tea as he takes his keys out of his pocket before a man wearing a hoodie and pointing a gun runs toward the homeowner. Ricci, who noticed his tea was too hot to drink at the time, is seen hitting the man in the face with the drink before pulling out his own firearm.
“My hand was burning and I couldn’t wait to go home and put honey in the tea so I could drink it,” the owner said. “I hit him in the face. [with the tea].”

Ricci carries a concealed weapon and immediately grabbed his firearm to subdue the suspect. He attributed his quick thinking to years of boxing and explained that he’s “no John Wick, but I can handle myself pretty well.”
“When I went to grab the gun, he turned around and held my sleeve (I think so I wouldn’t hit him) and when I went to get the gun, I shook him. He backed away and went to turn around, and I charged at him to grab him,” she said.
The other suspect, however, was drawing his own firearm and “preparing” for a shooting, Ricci said.
“At that point. I knew the other guy was shooting at me and I couldn’t see who else was coming in. And this kid was also turning around with a gun pointed at me, and I started shooting and they both started shooting,” he said.

Ricci described the two suspects as men probably in their 20s. He also noted that the hallway to the front door appears large in the video, but that he and the suspects were only a few feet away from each other in an area that is only five and a half feet wide.
A different view of footage from the home’s private driveway shows the suspects walking away from Ricci’s gunshots, one jumping a fence and the other running around a car in the driveway.
“A boy shot one, the other shot him twice. And after that, they jumped over the fence and continued shooting at me,” he said.
Ricci said his home has been targeted by criminals before, including in June when burglars broke into his residence and that his car was broken into a few months before the June robbery, he told Fox News Digital.

Ricci said a group of criminals have been attacking homes in his neighborhood, explaining that they drive a Dodge Charger with no license plate and had attacked his neighbor the night before the shooting.
The owner said that if it weren’t for his gun, he and his family could have easily died.
“It saved our lives,” he said. “I’m a tough guy… but there’s only so much I can do against a gun. They would have pistol whipped me, they would have pistol whipped my wife. “They would have entered the house and there is nothing in my house.”
He said he and his wife speculated that if it weren’t for the gun, the suspects would have broken in, found nothing of great value to steal and potentially “tortured” the young family.
He said that living in a liberal city, some might try to discredit and “crucify” the legal gun owner, rather than have authorities arrest and convict would-be trespassers.

“I know I didn’t do anything wrong, because I had two chances of having shot both boys in the back. I chose not to. But in the video, it looks like ‘oh, they were running away.’ They weren’t running. They were shooting at me,” she said.
He lamented that the Los Angeles police did “sloppy police” work when he filed a report, including failing to pick up shell casings scattered near his home.
“I almost couldn’t believe it, the sloppy police work they did. There are a couple of them that care… There are a handful of real cops, and then there are the rest,” she said.
The LAPD provided Fox News Digital with the news release about the crime, adding that “victims of crimes should always contact detectives with any questions or concerns they may have regarding an investigation.”
Ricci is calling on the LAPD to arrest criminals and for progressive LA District Attorney George Gascon to stop “picking the wrong people to go after” and charge criminals who have targeted him. and to others throughout Los Angeles on a daily basis.
“This Gascon is fucking [the cops] So much so that he is not going to accept the case in any way. “Even if they find these kids…Gascón won’t care that they were shooting a white guy,” he said.
Ricci is originally from the Bronx and said the repeated crimes he has endured in Los Angeles have forced him to reconsider staying in the city and even the state.
“I came here to have a better life. “I don’t want to be left without fear, but I’m not going to stubbornly keep my family here if it’s not safe,” he said, noting that his wife was traumatized by the incident and the possibility that Ricci would have died instead of chasing away the suspicious.
“This is not normal. This is not worth it. I would rather go back to living in an apartment building in the Bronx. This would never happen there,” he said.
