Man Foils Lincoln County Burglars

I say "burglars" instead of "home invaders" because home invaders come armed and know that the owner is home. That's not certain in this case.

Anyway, he fired a warning shot and held them until police arrived.

Now I'm not as adamant on the issue of warning shots as some other gun writers/bloggers are. Yes, I know that you are responsible for every bullet that leaves your gun, but in a situation where there is disparity of force (and two against one, even if the one is armed, is disparity of force) it might be worth firing a shot into the ground to let the criminals know that you won't hesitate to shoot. I would not fire a warning shot into the air, though.

And amazingly enough, the suspects in this case aren't the Usual Suspects®.
