While Michael tried to fight off the intruders, Whitney ran out the back door of the house with their infant daughter and called 911. Their 2-year-old son was sleeping upstairs in the house.

"We're being robbed at gunpoint. I just ran outside with my baby, and there is a, there's a black young man at the front door. He just pulled a gun on my husband," said Whitney Lash.

"Do you know if he's inside? Or do you know if he's still at the door or not? ... You heard a shot being fired?" said the 911 operator.

The intruders shot Michael twice in the legs and shot at Whitney. A GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for Michael's medical expenses.

Police are still looking for suspects and released this sketch of a suspect in the shooting.
