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 who also were in the house.
He succeeded in killing one of apparently four men who crashed in the front door, and wounding another, and police have on video the license plate number for the van in which two suspects apparently delivered their injured comrade to a hospital.
The dead attacker’s body was found at the home.
Acting Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told KFSN Television that there were four siblings in the home – their parents, farm workers, already had left for work before the 5:30 a.m. attack.
He said a 22-year-old “became aware of the robbery or potential intruders when the front door of the home was breached.”
He 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.
A gun battle inside the home left the 22-year-old, whose name was not immediately released, with multiple gunshot wounds and he was hospitalized and expected to recover. His siblings were uninjured, authorities said.
