An eight months pregnant mother shot an armed intruder dead with an AR-15 rifle during a terrifying home invasion.

Two masked men broke into Casey King’s house and viciously attacked her husband Jeremy while demanding money on Wednesday in Lithia, Florida.

Jeremy King said he did not recognize his assailants and believes they were going to kill him – which is when his wife stepped in with the family’s AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

‘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 told Bay News 9. Casey has not spoken out regarding the incident.




‘I’m telling them, “I have nothing for you. And they’re like, “Give me everything you got.” it became real violent, real fast,’ Jeremy continued.

His wife, Casey, who is eight months pregnant, peaked out of a back bedroom during the attack and one of the intruders reportedly fired a shot at her.

Casey retreated and grabbed the AR-15 and started shooting back at the intruders.

King said: ‘When (one of the men) came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him. He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.’

Police responded to the home and found a man dead in a ditch. The other masked intruder reportedly ran after his partner was shot by the rifle.

‘I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head. I took a severe beating,’ King said.

‘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.’

Police have not yet identified the man who was killed.
