CAPE CORAL -
A robber, armed with a machine gun, broke into Cape Coral man's home near Skyline Boulevard. But we found out the gunman picked the wrong homeowners to mess with.
In a nice Cape Coral neighborhood, Mike Ponton, a soldier with the National Guard, was just trying to enjoy his day off at home.
"I was watching TV," says Ponton.
What happened next was something made for a movie.
It involved a threatening phone call followed by a man with a ski mask, baseball bat and machine gun sneaking up to his house - which is right off Cape Coral Parkway near Skyline Blvd.
Ponton said it was about 1:30 in the afternoon.
"You come in my house and you bring a weapon to do bodily harm on me, I have no other choice but to protect myself and my family," he said.
