I'm willing to bet that neither was ready, willing or able to continue a home invasion after receiving those rounds . . .

Both guys nearly died with collapsed lungs but were able to load themselves into vehicles for a trip to the hospitalon their own two feet. Both look to be in good shape today (both are weightlifting guys) but admit they are reminded daily of the suck. I would not want to be shot by birdshot, but both these guys are happy it wasn’t larger shot.
