Four men who planned to commit a burglary on Thursday were surprised by a gun-toting homeowner, according to Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office.

Just before 10 a.m., deputies were called to the 11000 of Peggy Lane in Keithville regarding a burglary in progress. The homeowner said several men were at her front door dressed in hoods and carrying backpacks. When she met them at the door with a handgun, the suspects fled in an SUV that was parked in the bushes.
