The man arrested in a home invasion Thursday night in which he and two victims were hospitalized was injured when the two people in the house fought back, records show.
The sheriff's report shows Michael Lessard, 25, was wearing a bulletproof vest, mask and gloves when he barged into the home on Athens Court near Apopka and fired a shotgun at a former friend.
The incident report also shows the gunman fired at the former friend, but he jumped up as the pellets struck the floor and they missed. The former friend, Vu Nguyen, 25, and his mother, Tuyet To, 47, then struggled with the intruder. They rushed him, and Nguyen was able to pull the shotgun away and they continued to fight over a handgun.
The fight soon moved outside, where Nguyen's mother continued to batter the attacker's face with the shotgun. To, the mother, kept up her barrage until the man gave up and neighbors came and helped keep him on the ground until deputies arrived.

where Nguyen's mother continued to batter the attacker's face with the shotgun. I don't care who you are that's funny right there. This idiot will have a great time in prison telling the story of how his victims mommy bashed his face in.

I would have thought it justice had he died committing this crime, but then we would be deprived of that totally awesome picture.

That bulletproof vest ought to get him double time for this crime. Even a law-abiding citizen can be in deep doo doo if they wear a vest out in public.

"The incident report also shows the gunman fired at the former friend, but he jumped up as the pellets struck the floor and they missed. " Why does this remind me of a Kung Fu movie...?

"Lessard's car was identified as one at the scene
when the house was bombed March 20. A police dog identified the car as possibly containing bomb material and the county bomb squad was called out. Squad members went over the car and the scene was cleared."
"Nguyen said their friendship soured when he claimed Lessard began treating their friendship as an "intimate relationship" in 2008."
Um...wow.

When you get beat up with your own shotgun by a couple of Vietnamese...it just might be God’s way of telling you it’s time to go straight.

Wow, that’s some serious Kung Fu right there.

Sorry for stepping on your toes, I didn’t read your comment until after I posted mine...

CT is the only fascist police state that I’m aware of with such a law.

Shooting him would have been better, but beating him down was probably a lot more rewarding.
