On November 7, 2017, Terry Brackney was at his home in Baker, Florida waiting for his 17-year-old daughter Amber to come home from work. The young waitress left her restaurant and was nearly home when she called Terry; there were barrels and trash cans mysteriously placed in the middle of the road, blocking her car from pulling up to their house.
Terry told Amber the barrels weren't there earlier in the day and to just drive around them.
Later that night after Amber went to bed, Terry heard his dogs frantically barking at the garage. He grabbed his gun and went outside to inspect — and found two teenage males trying to break into the garage. Terry was not about to let anything happen to his family or his property. The video below describes the harrowing moments leading up to his frantic 911 call.
It wasn't until police arrived that Terry realized how much potential danger just he and Amber were in, and without even knowing it.
What unraveled was an alleged evil and elaborate plot concocted by four armed teenagers.

Amber told ABC News it was like "something that would happen in a scary movie" and she considers her father a hero for ultimately thwarting the suspects' plan.
