What happened next was 20 minutes of terror for an innocent couple" "...they kicked down the locked bedroom door where the couple had barricaded themselves behind their bed. Confronted again by the attackers, the man fired two shots, hitting 19-year-old Taijon Vorhees both times. At that point, all three robbers fled and drove away"
