Twenty-five-year-old Eddys Marte is charged with attempted robbery and is being held for a court appearance Thursday.
Dwyer says the gun went off during the struggle, but no one was hurt. He says he fought off the robber because he was upset the suspect was bringing crime to his neighborhood. He says his two adult sons and a neighbor helped subdue Marte.
