A Cleveland homeowner is lucky to be alive after opening his front door and walking straight into gunfire.
According to reporting from 19 News, the shooting happened just after 1 a.m. Friday on Schiller Avenue in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. The homeowner, who asked that his last name not be used, said he heard noises coming from his driveway and believed someone was trying to steal a Kia parked outside.
“I literally flew out of bed,” he told 19 News. His goal, he said, was simple: scare them off before they could take the vehicle.
Instead, the moment he opened the door and popped his head outside, gunfire erupted.
“Boom, boom, boom,” he recalled.
Police say two young suspects opened fire within seconds. One ran down the street while the other jumped into a nearby vehicle and sped off. Investigators say at least nine shots were fired.
One of those rounds struck the homeowner in the calf, entering and exiting his leg and causing heavy bleeding from an artery. The man said panic set in immediately.
“That was running through my head… I’m leaking blood,” he said, recalling that his brother had been shot and killed years earlier.
The homeowner said he dropped his own firearm (which he never fired) retreated into the house, and yelled for his sister to call 911. Once upstairs, he grabbed a shirt and tied it tightly around his leg in an attempt to slow the bleeding, “like you see in the movies.”
Police and EMS arrived quickly and transported him for treatment. He survived, but the experience left him shaken, especially considering the Kia in question has reportedly been stolen multiple times before.
Police are still searching for the gunman.
The incident underscores a growing problem in many cities: repeat vehicle thefts escalating into violent confrontations. In this case, a homeowner trying to protect his property nearly paid with his life.
As always, this is a reminder that confronting criminals, even on your own driveway, can turn deadly in seconds.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.
