A repairman talks to only ABC13 weeks after he says he stood up to three men, including one with a gun, who tried to rob him on Houston's northside.A would-be robbery victim, who came within two feet of a barrel of a gun, stood up to three men who wanted to steal his truck.
Donald Burns, a heating and A/C repairman, was on top of the roof of a convenience store in the 500 block of Berry Road when the men approached. The men retreated, as video shows, but then they went back. Burns still had his knife out, but by that time, he was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.
