He also said, get this, that he had a samurai sword just impaled in his chest.

He also had a very serious head injury, and one of his eyes was very badly damaged.

Yet somehow, despite all of that, he somehow miraculously managed to reach for a gun that he had on himself, and he fired in self-defense.

So he shot and killed one of his attackers, who, sure enough, was Emma.

Remember, we talked about Emma earlier as being one of the friends, and she was also part of the Zizian group.

He also injured somebody else before ultimately running out of ammunition.

Now, Curtis's friend Patrick, he didn't see the stabbing happen, but he did hear all of the commotion.

So he opened his door and he found his friend outside stumbling, bleeding, completely disoriented, and with this freaking sword sticking out of his body.

He called 911 multiple times, begging for help, and in one of those 911 calls, you can even hear the panic in his voice as he describes Curtis's condition.

He tells the operator, he's been stabbed, he's bleeding everywhere, he's been beat up bad.

And I want you to take a listen to Patrick recounting what happened to his friend.

Now, thankfully, Curtis survived the attack, but he did have to spend a month in the hospital, and he actually ended up losing his right eye.

Unfortunately, though, there was no surveillance cameras around that area that captured this brutal attack, so it really became a case of he said, she said, with attempted murder on the table.

Still though, it was enough to arrest the surviving Zizians who were a part of this attack, Suri and Alexander.

Now when the cops started investigating this incident more, they found that the Zizians who were living on that property had a stockpile of knives, also swords, and all sorts of like weird weapons.

They even had chemicals that had been mixed and ready, just prepared on standby, which they thought it was possibly to try to dissolve Curtis's body after the fact.

Which, that's so crazy when you just step back for a moment and think about it, cult or not.

You have this group of, like, 20-year-olds, 20-something-year-olds, trying to kill a senior citizen using samurai swords, possibly using a chemical to dissolve his body after the fact.

I mean, thank God Curtis had this gun and was able to use it in self-defense, because this could have been a very, very different outcome.

So Suri and Alexander were arrested and charged with attempted murder for the attack on Curtis, and also for the death of their friend and fellow Zizian, Emma.
