Woman Saves Son and Boyfriend From Armed Men

Nathaniel Evans was leaving for work when two men confronted him with a gun and ordered him back inside. The men threatened Evans and another occupant, Evans' girlfriend. "[The suspects] kept yelling, 'Where is it?'" said Sheriff Greg Champagne. "when they couldn't find what they were looking for, they shot [Evans]." That's when Evans' girlfriend, who'd been ordered into a bedroom and forced to the floor with her 5-year-old child, came out firing a .40-cal. pistol. One suspect died at the scene. The other was found nearby and will be charged after his release from the hospital. Evans is expected to recover. The Times-Picayune - New Orleans, LA
