The woman who lived inside the home took her daughter into a bedroom and locked the door behind them. Garcia realized the homeowner was inside the room and began to try and unlock it.

The woman shouted at the intruder informing him she had a gun and that the police had been called and were on their way. However, Garcia continued to try and break into the room.
