LITHIA, Fla. — The bruises and swelling on Jeremy King’s face tell the story of a man on the receiving end of a brutal attack. But his actual account is far more harrowing than his injuries suggest.
- Two masked men armed with guns entered the victim’s home
- His pregnant wife retreated and grabbed an AR-15

“I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head,” said King, outside his home on Old Welcome Road in Lithia. “I took a severe beating.”
King said he was inside his home Wednesday when two masked men armed with guns barged in around 9 p.m. He said he doesn’t know who they are, never met them and has no idea why he was targeted. Both men pointed guns at King while demanding money.
