DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A man was able to fire his gun at suspects who he said were trying to steal his motorcycle early Tuesday morning at an apartment complex in Dallas, police said.

Officers responded to the apartments in the 9900 block of Adleta Boulevard at around 4:45 a.m. where the man told them about the attempted robbery.

According to police, the man had looked out his apartment window to see if his motorcycle was still in the parking lot, and when he didn't see it, he went outside to investigate.
