Police are searching for suspects following a home-invasion shooting in Fremont's Niles District. A woman and her baby have been transported to a trauma center after suffering injuries during the shooting, according to police. Ian Cull reports.

“I didn’t think anyone was going to start shooting at me,” said Adam. “Today was a normal day.” The father said the suspects were after him.

“They’re known,” he said. “They came and were acting like they were there for one reason – they were there to kill me. We exchanged fire.”

Adam said he legally owns a handgun and is well trained. He said the men came to his door over a family-type dispute but they’renot blood relatives.

He said he jumped out of the window and the men escaped.

“That was it,” he said. “Thank God for the Second Amendment because without me being armed I wouldn’t be here.”

Adam said the suspects were not after his wife and that they moved her out of the way.

“It wasn’t about her, it was about me,” he said.

Police continue looking for the suspects saying this was a targeted shooting.
