Semantha Bunce, 21, of Charlotte, North Carolina was feeding her 4-month-old son when two gun wielding intruders broke into her home.

Bunce, mother of three, was home with two of her children on the morning of Nov. 3 when two men kicked down her front door and opened fire. Bunce, a combat medic with the National Guard, was shot at least twice. Apparently leaving Bunce for dead the intruders began to make their way through the home. Wounded and bleeding Bunce secured her children, include a 4-month-old, by taking them upstairs. During this time Bunce was able to access her husband's hand gun. The intruders and Bunce met in the stairwell, and a gunfight ensued. Multiple shots were fired by both parties.

According to wsoctv.com Paul Bunce, Semantha's husband, said, “I think it was a shock to the intruders just as much as it was to her."

The intruders fled the scene after Bunce opened fire. Bunce was then rushed to Carolinas Medical Center with critical injuries.
