"He comes out and spots a person who is not only fighting with this dog but is naked fighting with this dog," Miami Police spokesman Det. Willie Moreno said.

The homeowner opened fire twice, hitting the suspect in the leg once. The homeowner held the man until the police arrived.

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. - One South Florida man talks about what led him to turn in his assault rifle to Miami-Dade Police.

"I bought it because it looked cool and I was young and dumb and now I'm older and wiser," said Michael Backer.

Backer told Local 10's Roger Lohse it was an easy decision to turn in the Ruger Mini-14 assault rifle that was collecting dust in his garage after the Connecticut school shooting.

"I didn't want it because God forbid somebody should steal it from my garage and it would be used in another Sandy Hook," said Backer. "One less rifle on the streets of Miami."
