At about 4 p.m., on 31 March 2019, a suspected gang member broke into an apartment at Blackhawk Apartments in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Blackhawk apartments are a large, two-story apartment complex in a decent neighborhood. A couple was inside the apartment, in the bedroom. From journalgazette.net:
The man grabbed his Tactical AR-15 pistol after hearing what he thought were multiple people entering his apartment and took a position on one knee, pointing his firearm toward his bedroom doorway, documents said.
The accused armed home invader, Edwin D. Calligan, 23, was wearing a mask and was armed with a semi-automatic, 9mm handgun.
Calligan broke down the front door. The boyfriend was inside the bedroom of the apartment with his girlfriend when they heard the door being broke. The man grabbed his AR-15 pistol and took up a defensive position covering the bedroom door. He thought, from the noise, there were multiple home invaders.
As Calligan appeared in the doorway, masked, dressed all in black, with a two-tone semi-automatic handgun in his hand, the resident fired. He is not sure if Calligan fired simultaneously or not.
The gunfight continued into the living room, where they exchanged more shots. The invader, Calligan, ducked into the kitchen for cover, while the resident with the AR15 pistol and Calligan continued to exchange fire.
The resident retreated to the bedroom and Calligan, wounded, ran out the front door, bleeding heavily.
When the police investigated they found numerous empty 9mm and .223 casings on the floor of the apartment. The home defender estimated he fired between 14 and 17 rounds out of a 40 round magazine in his AR15 type pistol.

It looks like an SBR (short barreled rifle).
Does the buttstock extend?
Never been in a fire fight?

Good answer!
I'm more concerned about things like this:
...when they heard the door being broke.
In drywall, at close ranges, a 9mm will penetrate further than a .223. Don't take my word for it though. Look at the FBI results or hundreds of articles and videos. Furthermore, with proper frangible ammo, .223 works even better. The reason being that the energy of the round at close distances is so high compared to the mass, the bullet sheds mass quickly and starts disintegrating.
According to Authoritarian Party presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg: “Well, if it can fire a lot of bullets very quickly, that’s a good definition [for an assault weapon]... And then you can argue what a lot is, okay, let’s say three. If you haven’t hit the deer with three shots, you’re a pretty lousy shot, that deer deserves to get away.”
Just watching the Denver news channels, I’ve been bombarded with Bloomberg commercials the last couple of days.
It hurts the brain, doesn't it?

I hate this state.
Replace with when out in the living room there arose such a clatter he rose from his bed to see what was the matter.
My thoughts exactly! The guy needs to spend some time on the shooting range.

He would be the perforated one
Exactly. At that point only a few of his shots were “well-aimed” in the Front Sight way ... mostly they were OH SH!T shots.
Does not smell right. Maybe a drug turf war?
