Man narrowly avoids being shot through front door

A man has survived a shooting through his front door - with the terrifying moment caught on a home security camera.

The video shows a man allegedly armed with a rifle move towards the front door of Chris Bodens home before opening fire on his doorstep.

It was a close call.

I heard a bang at the door and opened the door, and there was a man standing there with a gun, so I slammed the door and then bang, pulled the trigger.

He had fallen to the floor, a move that may have saved his life.

It came through the door and pieces of wood hit me in the face, he said.

By the time police arrived 10 minutes later, the offender was gone.

Mr Boden said the same man confronted his son Bodie at the home earlier in the day armed with a knife.

He went to take a swing at me and as hes done that my mum came to the door and startled him, Bodie Cox said.
