   A Florida homeowner came out guns blazing when a crew of would-be burglars   
   attempted to barge into his family house — with one of the crooks left   
   dead and the others still in the wind.   
      
   Gunfire erupted from the home in Kendall around 7 p.m., where a stranger   
   was lurking on the porch and three others were standing in the yard when   
   the homeowner saw them, reports said.   
      
   “I heard my mom scream, ‘Get off my porch, I’m going to call 911,’”   
   the   
   brave homeowner told NBC 6 South Florida. “So I became frantic and I   
   started looking for my gun.”   
      
   He went outside with the weapon to ward the menaces off, but they wouldn’t   
   leave and instead tried to force their way into the house.   
      
   So the homeowner opened fire — striking one of the intruders twice.   
      
   Home security footage captured the gunfire, and screaming that ensued.   
      
   “I wasn’t trying to kill him, but when he barged in, I was scared for my   
   life,” the homeowner said. “Not only for my life, I was scared for my   
   mom.”   
      
   Three of the suspects fled and remain on the loose.   
      
   But the fourth man — who was shot in the torso — was transported to a   
   hospital and later died.   
      
   The shaken homeowner had no regrets about defending his family — but   
   wished things didn’t have to have to turn out the way they did.   
      
   “I wish it was all a bad dream. Like this is a nightmare,” he told NBC 6.   
      
   “I’m going to need years and years of therapy. Worst night of my life. I   
   wish it never happened.”
