Mad that someone was home.  This mother says she grabbed her gun again and chased the burglar, shortly after that deputies caught up with Ogando and his accomplice and arrested them.  "I just started running downstairs, saying, 'Stop! I got you on camera!'"

Ogando is charged with burglary, grand theft and criminal mischief.  During his first appearance, a judge revoked his bond due to previous charges. "Your Honor, he's out on bond for an aggravated assault with a firearm and a domestic violence battery."

Meanwhile, this mom has a message for the suspect and his friend.  "Treat people with kindness because what goes around comes around."
