Man Shot Multiple Times, But Still Saves Day
‘He was fighting for his life’
WND
Police in California say they are looking for several suspects in a home invasion after a 22-year-old victim grabbed a gun and engaged in a gunfight to protect his younger siblings.
The man, whose name was not released, killed one of apparently four men who crashed in the front door and wounded another. Police have on video the license plate number of the van in which two suspects delivered their injured comrade to a hospital.
The dead attacker’s body was found at the home.
The attack happened near Orosi in California’s Central Valley, southeast of Fresno, according to the Fresno Bee.
Acting Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told KFSN-TV in Fresno that there were four siblings in the home. Their parents, farm workers, already had left for work before the 5:30 a.m. attack.
Boudreaux said a 22-year-old “became aware of the robbery or potential intruders when the front door of the home was breached.”
The man grabbed a gun from a safe “to protect himself and three siblings,” ages 3, 11 and 18, authorities said.
“He was fighting for his life,” the sheriff said.
The 22-year-old suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and he was hospitalized and expected to recover. His siblings were uninjured, authorities said.

Oh Lord! The homeowner is in California so I am sure it will be him, not the intruders, that will be going to prison.
