Michael Lash knew he had a broken leg and he couldn’t feel his other foot. One bullet had gone in the front of his thigh and out the back.

While trying to protect his wife and two young children, the northwest Atlanta father was shot in both legs Sunday evening, the beginning of a few terrifying moments for the family. As Lash was recovering Tuesday, Atlanta police were investigating the home invasion, hopeful that security cameras on neighboring homes and evidence left behind would help identify the suspects.


UPDATE: At least one suspect in custody LINK

Hopefully the security cameras will give us a good picture of what these boys look like. I'm thinking if we can narrow it down to a list of suspects that's at the most 12% of the overall population, we have a good chance of catching them before they head off to college.

All attention will be directed toward the potential race of the suspects

Why didn't the home owner use his gun?
Surely the family dog was going ape shite indicating something was wrong?

Well when a certain subset of the population is responsible for a vast majority of this type of animalistic behavior what do you expect?

That'd pretty much shatter any sense of security I would have for the rest of my life.

In all seriousness, it's an obvious way to identify suspects. You have the entire city of Atlanta to consider and you want to narrow it down to a list as small as possible.

We know they're teenagers, have afros, have tattoos, and have piercings. That's a good amount of info, but knowing if they are black or white or hispanic or Asian helps even further. But instead of identifying their race, we just ignore it because of sensitivity.

I'd have a loaded gun in a holster on my hip for the rest of my life for sure.

And that house would be on the market ASAP and we'd move out of the city.

1. I never understood why they release these calls.

2. Videos like this really don't need adsin front of them.

Inside the home, Lash’s wife, Whitney, heard the shots, grabbed the couple’s 6-month-old daughter and ran toward the back door, her mother, Jessica Huffman, told Channel 2 Action News. Whitney Lash called 911, and in a hushed voice, told the operator her husband had been shot.

“I just ran outside with my baby,” the mother said in the 911 call.

The suspects fired two shots at the mother, but missed her as she ran out the back door and to a nearby home for help.

I don't think they ignored it, they just said it without being a dick about it. Would you prefer they drop an N bomb on the description?

Father in law has a gun in every room of his house and won't answer the door for strangers without one on his person. This makes me think I'm going to pickup that practice.

i wonder how long it took the police to show up. it sounds like the wife called 911 before her husband was shot but the article says they still had time to ransack the house.

I wish the father would've taken out a pistol and blew their brains out right there at the front door and the video was caught on surveillance and mass broadcasted on the news.
