The hero mom sprung into action when two intruders entered the family's Lithia, Fla. home last week and pistol whipped her husband while violently grabbing their daughter.
A pregnant woman is credited with saving the lives of her husband and daughter after she used an AR-15 to fatally gun down a home intruder, a report said.
The hero mom sprung into action when two intruders entered the family�s Lithia, Fla. home last week and pistol whipped her husband while violently grabbing their daughter, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff�s Office.
�They came in heavily hooded and masked,� the husband, Jeremy King, told Bay News 9.
�As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter.�
The robbers then pistol-whipped King and kicked him while the man�s wife, who is eight months pregnant, retreated into the bedroom.
�When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him,� King told the outlet. �He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.�
Police said in a press conference that they found the man�s dead body lying in the ditch nearby. The second suspect was on the loose.
The homeowner said he took a �severe beating,� but credited his wife for saving him.
�I�ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head,� said King.
�Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it. [My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me.�
The sheriff�s office added that the firearm was in the home legally.
