A young mother is in stable condition after a shoot-out during a home invasion at her home, according to Bearing Arms. Semantha Bunce was feeding her newborn at Charlotte North Carolina home, when the front door was kicked in and armed robbers entered. Bunce, a combat medic with the National Guard, grabbed her 4-month-old baby and ran to the bedroom to grab her husband's legally owned gun.
Bunce met the home invaders in the hallway and had a shoot-out with the intruders, chasing them from her home, but not before the 21-year-old young mother sustained several gunshot wounds herself.
Even with two gunshot wounds, Bunce went back upstairs to check on her baby and call 911.
"I think it was a shock to the intruders just as much as it was to her," said Paul Bunce, her husband.
"This investigation is going full force ahead," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Capt. Chuck Henson said, according to WSOC TV. "They're working it very, very hard and I'm very confident that we'll have an arrest in it at some point."
Semantha Bunce remains in stable condition in the hospital and is expected to have at least one more surgery, according to Fox News.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the young family with their impending medical bills.
I'm told Semantha Bunce is awake, out of ICU and talking. Another way to help: https://t.co/Rj9aNSZKj6 pic.twitter.com/lsIYgnknkk
