Two men, later identified as Keith Sowers, 32, of Punta Gorda, and Port Charlotte resident Joshua Eugene Becerril, 29, wearing stockings over their faces, kicked open the front door, deputies said.

Becerril reportedly held Gilmore at knifepoint. McGlone ran into his father's bedroom, where Gilmore kept several guns, and was chased by Sowers, toting a tire iron.

Sowers allegedly hit McGlone over the head with the tire iron before being shot in the stomach.

Emergency dispatchers received a call from a nearby home on Presque Isles reporting a man had come to the front door saying he had been shot, according to the report.

Sowers is recovering at Lee Memorial Hospital, sheriff's spokesman Bob Carpenter said.

4. McGlone made a serious error.

Once he had a gun, he didn't shoot immediately. He told Sowers to leave, and got hit on the head for his kindness. If the blow had been a solid one, Sowers would have won the fight. McGlone risked his father's life and his own life in an effort to avoid having to shoot Sowers.
