SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- Frank Alioto said he fought off two masked bandits with pistols and laser sights when they busted into his Sandy Springs home firing off shots.

It happened along Stables Drive in the Spalding Stables Estates subdivision.

Alioto and his girlfriend were awakened by the commotion. Two other friends were also inside the home. Alioto said the armed men fired at least seven shots. Alioto, completely naked, decided to fight back.

"He lets one more shot off at me. We tussle all the way to the garage area. I punched him in the face and he drops his gun. We start tussling and he starts calling for his buddy to come help him," Aliota said.

That's when, Aliota said, the intruders gave up and drove away.

Sandy Springs police said a home invasion like this is very unusual for this neighborhood.

Alioto believes he was targeted because he's in the music industry and says he has a lot of expensive equipment in his house.

Police detained him briefly after they found a small amount of marijuana in the house but they let him go shortly after. He said he is proud he was able to fight back and keep the bandits from taking anything.

"I was real lucky on Christmas," Aliota said.
