He's conscious, trying to keep him that way. It's a gunshot or stab, I can't actually tell." In fact, Justin himself had been shot four times - in his hand, chest and shoulder. He had driven from the beach to get help after, he told police, he and his wife April had been attacked by a robber at gunpoint. He revealed the couple had been walking along the beach when the robber had confronted them.
