BIG SPRING, TX (KWES) - Two teens have been arrested following a burglary of a habitation call on Wednesday night in Big Spring.

When officers arrived on the scene, the victim told police that he had stopped by his parents house to check on something and his parent's weren't home.
According to police, as the victim walked into the home, he came face to face with a man who broke into the home.
That's when a fight began between the suspect and victim.
Officials say a second burglary suspect then came towards the men with a shotgun that belonged to the homeowner.
The second suspect demanded that the victim release the first man and as the victim let go of the first suspect he began struggling for the gun with the second suspect.
The victim was able to get the gun from the second suspect and pumped the shotgun only to find out it wasn't loaded.
