Ervin Brittnacher was awakened by noises outside his home in the 3000 block of McFarland Road just before 6 a.m. Monday and walked over to investigate, said Lt. Bruce Whitten of the League City Police Department.
Brittnacher saw a man toting a rifle, a .223-caliber Ruger Mini-14, police said. The homeowner sprang into action, hitting him in the throat with the side of his hand, and then taking the rifle, Whitten said.
