Robber's gun misfires 3 times allowing victim to escape

ANTIOCH, Calif. (KGO) --
An Antioch man still can't believe what happened to him in front of his
own home. He not only lived through it, he has also seen the
surveillance video. The man described the incident that could have
turned the armed robbery in to a murder.
When Eric Gilbert pulled into his driveway before 3 a.m. Friday, he was greeted by a hooded man pointing a gun at him.


"Then I looked up, a guy was right there with a gun in my face. He said
basically, 'Break yourself, give me everything you have,' and I
complied. I gave him my wallet and he pulled the trigger and it locked
up and it clicked," said Gilbert.
"He again squeezed the trigger and at that point I put the key into the
lock, trying to get into the door, he squeezed the trigger again, and I
opened the door, I ran in, I closed the door, locked it," said Gilbert.Source:
