A man broke into a house in Phoenix. The house owner Tony Arambula who is a registered gun owner got his weapon and held the intruder at gunpoint. He did this because he wanted to protect his wife and two boys who was with him in the house.They called 911 as soon as possible, but when officers arrived , they shot Tony Arambula in the back by mistake. "If you can imagine being shot, it's a whole lot worse than you think. It literally feels like they're pulling a sledge hammer through your body," said Arambula. "I was pretty sure I was going to die." Phoenix police said Officer Brian Lilly shot Tony. Tony’s wife says that the police is only covering the whole case up and still doing it. A spokesperson for the Phoenix police said in an interview that ”the home owner was mistaken for the armed suspect and shot”. The intruder, Angel Canales, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and weapons charges.
Tony Arambula now asking the city and its police department to settle the case for $5.75 million.
