His neighbors soon called the police. Three police officers came to David's house just minutes later.

I can t really tell you much. I was woken by a noise on the ground floor of my home.I took my pistol and went downstairs. Halfway down the stairs. I saw a shadow of a man. I shouted “Stop or I'll shoot."
