Home security cameras caught a frightening scene in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Thursday when police say an armed teenager tried to carjack a man outside his home.

It would have been the second carjacking to happen in front of Jheyco Borda’s home. But he and other family members decided to fight back.

Borda said he was installing a dashcam in his truck when he noticed a group of people, who appeared to be teens, walk onto his block.

“And I saw six kids come by playing around … And out of my corner of my eye, they stepped in front of my car … in front of the neighbor’s house,” Borda said in an interview with News4’s sister station Telemundo44.

Borda said he quickly called his brother, who was in the house, and then got out and began securing things in the back of his truck.

“I saw them put on a face mask. As soon as I figured that one out, I was like, something’s about to go down,” he said.

One of the teens then went up to Borda and pointed a gun in his face.

“And I told him, ‘The car is on. The keys are inside.’ And he saw my phone and was, like, ‘Give me your phone, too.’ So I gave it to him. When he got distracted looking at my phone, that was the split second when I grabbed the gun out of his hand,” Borda said.

Borda, a former member of the U.S. military, was joined by his brother, who’s about to enlist in the Air Force.

“Then my pops came out, and he got control of one guy,” Borda said.

During the struggle to get control of the gun the teen pulled the trigger, Borda said.

The family eventually subdued two of the teenagers and waited until police arrived.

There’s a large bullet hole in Borda’s truck. He said he’s grateful no one was hurt.

Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, are looking for two women accused of killing the 67-year-old mother of one of the suspects.

Vanessa Tjongarero-Henderson, 29, of Clarksburg, and her girlfriend Samantha Raebel, 36, of Phoenix, have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Hilde Henderson, Tjongarero-Henderson’s mother.

Henderson was found dead on May 26, in an apartment on Fenwick Lane in Silver Spring, police said in a news release.

After an autopsy, Henderson’s death was ruled a homicide. Detectives identified the couple as suspects in her death and obtained arrest warrants, police said.

Anyone with information on Tjongarero-Henderson and Raebel’s whereabouts should call 911 or visit the Montgomery County police online tip line.

Maryland State troopers rallied behind a student, whose dad died while in the line of duty, during her high school graduation on Thursday.

Madison Lippy graduated from Westminster High School nearly 18 years after her dad, Micky Lippy, a state trooper, died in a helicopter crash in Prince George’s County.

State troopers embraced Madison Lippy and her family back in 2008 and have shown their support ever since. Troopers said that attending her graduation is a way to remember and honor the sacrifice her father made.

“This is to make sure that they know we never forget,” said Lt. Jon Hill, with the Maryland State Police. 

Troopers added that it was an honor to be part of Madison’s life and see her accomplishments as she’s grown up.

Standing by the Lippy family after the trooper’s death

Madison Lippy was just an infant when her father, Maryland State Trooper Mickey Lippy, was killed in a helicopter crash in Prince George’s County in Sept. 2008.  

Mickey Lippy, along with a pilot and an EMT, was taking two critically injured teenagers to the hospital. That helicopter tried to land but struck trees and crashed, killing all but one person.

Troopers have stood by the Lippy family since that day, saying that it has been an honor to be part of Madison’s life and see her accomplishments as she’s grown up.

“We walk and stay with their families through their journey, way beyond, in the days and the weeks and months that follow tragedies, when we lose a first responder or a military person,” Lt. Hill said. “There is a lot of  tension around the families; unfortunately, that can fade as we move to years after, so it is important for us to be here and for them to know that we don’t forget their family members, we remember them.”
