The incident happened at around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 31 in the 500 block of 44th Street, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The husband and wife, along with their 8-month-old and 4-year-old, were sleeping in their home when the husband woke up to a strange noise outside and went into the kitchen to investigate. When he opened the door, he was immediately struck in the face with a revolver and fell to the floor, detectives said.
