Victim of Violent Home Invasion Speaks; Credits Wife With Saving His Life
By Dave Jordan Hillsborough County

LITHIA, Fla. — The bruises and swelling on Jeremy King's face tells the story of a man on the receiving end of a brutal attack. But his actual account is far more harrowing than his injuries suggest.
Two masked men armed with guns entered the victim's home
His pregnant wife retreated and grabbed an AR-15
Suspect Shot, Killed During Home Invasion In Lithia
“I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head,” said King, outside his home on Old Welcome Road in Lithia. “I took a severe beating.”
King said he was inside his home Wednesday when two masked men armed with guns barged in around 9:00pm. He said he doesn't know who they are, never met them and has no idea why he was targeted. Both men pointed guns at King while demanding money.
“They came in heavily hooded and masked. As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter,” he said.
“I’m telling them, ‘I have nothing for you,’" King explained. "[A]nd they’re like, ‘Give me everything you got.’ It became real violent, real fast.”
King said one of the men started pistol-whipping him while another kicked him repeatedly in the head. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, was in the back bedroom and peeked out to see what was going on.
King said one of the men shot at her. She retreated, grabbed an AR-15 and returned fire.
“When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him,” King said. “He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.”
Deputies later found a man dead in a nearby ditch. The other gunman ran off after that fatal shot was fired.
“Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King said. “[My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me. “
Investigators are still looking for the second gunman.

They thought he had drugs or proceeds for same. Glad the woman knew how to operate an AR.

You'll never hear about this in the MSM. NO doubt! One of my Dads buddies and a one time biologist and mentor to myself is stirring the pot big time against the AR in our local politics. I keep trying to sway him back just a little to center but its not working I don't what happened to him but about 12 years ago he somehow got a dose of the Obama kool aide and went all in for libs. I could show him this article and he would still say ban them. Its a disease for certain.

He said he doesn't know who they are, never met them and has no idea why he was targeted. Unlikely. I saw a pic of his house on another site. It didn't look like anyone with money enough to pay the rent lived there. Someone will be back.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Don’t know who that guy is, but I like him so far
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Neither of the intruders was publicly identified by authorities.
Anyone with information on the incident or the burglar's whereabouts is urged to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200. Uh, wouldn't it be a bit easier for the public to recognize them if the public knew who the dead guy is and maybe a description of one that got away?

When they don't give a description of the criminal, it means it is a Negro.
