What we know:

The horrifying moment was caught on camera as Benjamin Nevers got into a shootout with a man who broke into his home on North Brookside.

"My foot completely shattered," he said. "They have screws and plates, immediate surgery, and then I got hit in the back right here as well."

Benjamin said his girlfriend, who was lying in the bed behind him during the incident, was also shot.

"I know she got shot in the back, and it like traveled up and it like hit her kidney and I think it’s lodged in her chest right now - like they can’t get the bullet out cause it’s too dangerous. So, I know they are watching her and it’s going to be a couple more days," he said.

He said he and a friend had just got back from the Bahamas and were looking for a quiet night when two suspects appeared on security video breaking in through a kitchen window and milling around the house.

His friend was held down at gunpoint in the living room.

"Then I woke up, and I was just quick enough to react to grab my gun and cock it and I just sat there and kind of waited. I knew they were going to come to my room," he said.

As soon as the gunman came in, the shootout began. On video, Ben shoots his gun at the off-screen suspect as he is also shot.
