The male victim, who is the homeowner, began to get pistol-whipped and beat up," Hillsborough County Sheriff's Maj. Frank Losat told reporters on the scene.
"During that incident, the female homeowner retrieved a firearm, which was in the house legally, and fired one round which struck the male victim that was deceased in the ditch."
Homeowner Jeremy King said he'd be dead if not for his fast-thinking, eight-months-pregnant wife. He said both home invaders had pistols and they fired one shot.
“Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King told Bay News 9. “(My wife) evened the playing field and kept them from killing me."
King suffered a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity and a concussion to go along with 20 stitches from the attack.
The husband, whose 11-year-old daughter was at home during the home invasion, said he and wife did not know their attackers.
“We also know this was not a random act," Losat said. "This family was probably targeted.”

Good grief, there are some really horrible writers out there. I wonder if an editor actually looked at this story- if so, the editor is bad also.

So wait, if we can save one child by banning ARs we are supposed to do that, now an AR saves 2 adults and 2 children so no?

Depends on intersectionality and political party affiliation.
