WJXT reported on the botched home invasion that occurred around 4 a.m. on April 15 when a group of as many as seven criminals shouted “Sheriff’s office!” as they burst through the door of a mobile home in Glen St. Mary, Florida.
The first masked man through the door fired at least one shot from a handgun but was met immediately by a resident of the home armed with an AR-15, as well as another armed with a 9mm handgun, who returned fire in self-defense against the intruders.
The man with the AR-15 estimated he fired all 30 rounds from his rifle’s magazine.
That first man through the door was hit by multiple shots, as were the two other intruders who followed closely behind them, forcing the crime in progress to be called off and the home invader crew to attempt to flee the scene as fast as they could.
The mobile home’s residents immediately called 911 and rapidly responding deputies intercepted the crew of criminals as they sped away from their botched operation. Five individuals were placed under arrest for the home invasion and the wounded criminals were transported to a hospital, where one who was shot in the head was later pronounced dead.
