Woman shot multiple times while holding baby in her arms
Victim had never held a gun before winning shootout with three suspects
A young mother successfully defended her children and home from armed thugs who shot her twice during a ferocious gun battle in Illinois, according to reports.


The harrowing incident unfolded in Decatur on Feb. 10, but details just came to light this week.


Alexia Templar was home alone with her two daughters, both under the age of two, when she heard men breaking into her residence.


“In that moment, I can’t panic. I have two daughters who need me in this moment and need me to protect them,” Templar told WCIA.


She says she called her partner and he advised her to grab a firearm, which she had never done before.


“As soon as I see them, I say to them, ‘I have a gun, so get out of my house, or I will shoot you.’ As soon as I said that, they started immediately firing at me, both the people,” Templar explained.


Templar says she was holding her baby in her arms as she was struck by multiple rounds.


She returned fire, forcing the suspects to flee.


Miraculously, the baby was not hit and Templar was able to shelter the children until her partner could rush her to a local hospital, where she was treated for two non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Bravo Zulu to her. I won’t comment on her holding the baby because I don’t know the urgency level of her response and also people don’t always do the smartest things during high stress events.

As to the dude in the house, what the f*** was he doing for him to just tell her to grab the gun? Maybe he was on the can and there wasn’t time. Who knows. But that aspect certainly doesn’t sound very good.
 
The best part, she hit one and they’re headed to a bad place.

Authorities tracked down three suspects, one of whom had reportedly been shot by Templar.

Deonte Stone, 24, and Colton Clark, 25, and an unnamed 16-year-old were all arrested and charged with attempted murder, home invasion, and aggravated battery with a firearm.

I saw this a few hours ago. It took you long enough to post it.

The article said that she called him. So I took that to mean he was not there and she called him on the phone.
I am sure he was at bible study.
