Here’s another entry for the AR-15 Defensive Gun Use page.
Six armed men broke into a Jacksonville, Florida mobile home on Sunday, April 15th. One man yelled out, “Sheriff’s Office!” before the door burst in and at least one masked gunman entered the home and fired a shot. Of the four residents, two reportedly armed themselves with a 9mm handgun and an AR-15, returning fire. The attackers soon fled, with several of the wounded being captured by police in a vehicle speeding away from the scene.
The results:
- 7 Attackers – 3 of them brothers (Ages 15, 18, and 24) as well as 4 others (Ages 16, 19, 20, 24)
- 5 Arrested, so far (Ages 15, 19, 20, 24, and 24)
- 2 Wounded attackers (Age 16 and 24)
- 1 Dead attacker (age 18)
- 0 injuries for the home defenders.
One of the brothers, 24, was wounded and treated at the hospital, but released into police custody. Charges for the 16-year-old may be pending his release from the hospital.
Names of the attackers have been withheld intentionally.
