A mother in Charlotte, North Carolina gave a group of armed intruders the surprise of a lifetime when she engaged them in an intense gun battle while she was feeding her child Tuesday morning.

Semantha Bunce, 21, suffered serious injuries after being shot by the intruders, but was able to scare them off by returning fire, according to WSOC TV. Paul Bunce, Semantha’s husband, told WSOC, “I think it was a shock to the intruders just as much as it was to her.”

At the time of the shooting, their baby was only feet away. Semantha is a trained combat medic with the National Guard, and her husband believes that her training likely saved her life during the gun battle. While Semantha is expected to survive her wounds, she will still need at least one more surgery.

The police are here to serve and protect, but they are often tens of minutes away. Because this woman was able to arm herself, she was able to save both her own life and the life of her child. When things get bad, there's no equalizer quite like a firearm.
