So Kennie Bowles jumped into action.
"I have a nine-year-old, so I was just coming out to see if I could deter them in any way," he said. "I didn’t get a chance to say anything; as soon as they heard the door open, they just started to fire."
Kennie rushed outside so fast that he did not grab his own weapon, and a message on Kennie’s doormat, "There is nothing here worth dying for," was never seen by the suspects before they got away.
