CJ said his instincts came into play.
“They hit me here and I fell. When I fell my reaction was to go to my nightstand, me falling reminded me I have my own protection, I have a CCW. I started shooting back and both ran out of the room falling down the stairs. One of them fell through the garage wall,” said CJ.
