A Frederick woman held a man at gunpoint inside her home until police arrived for a reported home invasion late Saturday.
City officers were called to the 500 block of Goldspire Circle at 11:06 p.m. when a woman called 911 to report a man had broken into her home while she and another female resident were watching TV in the living room, according to charging documents. The man, later identified as Jose Mauricio Escobar-Flores, 40, was standing in the woman's kitchen holding a knife when police arrived.
After officers ordered Escobar-Flores to drop the knife and placed him in handcuffs, the women told police that they had been watching TV when they heard Escobar-Flores break the rear sliding glass door of their home, the documents state.
The women ran upstairs while Escobar-Flores was struggling with the door and, while one of the women called 911, the other armed herself with a handgun and ran back downstairs to confront the intruder.

Excellent story! Almost a happy ending but close enough. Maybe he'll get deported.
No warning shot from me - as soon as I saw the knife, I would have fired...until my gun was out of ammo!

just like the police do right
7:59 highly inaccurate statement.
There isnt a language barrier with a gun pointed at you....maybe the women should have told the intruder that their home was gun free zone and it was their safe space.... totally different outcome guaranteed.... hear that dems another RESPONSIBLE gun owner in need of their 2nd amendment right.... open carry in MD NOW! Hogan your move
Unknown intruder standing in my kitchen with a knife in his hand...my 911 call would have been much different.
