Is the auntie dead?

BANG!

When shots were fired in this quiet neighborhood, everyone snapped awake at the sharp and alarming sound. Even the officers sleeping in the car jolt into consciousness.

"Papa!" Penny yelled as her breath hitched, watching her father jump away from the door and roll on the ground. "Papa!" 

Penny called and ran as fast as she could to her father. She saw the spark but was not sure if Charles was hit or if he was able to dodge it. Either way, shots were fired. 

"Papa!" Penny's breath hitched when she saw Charles get up from the ground. Yet, she still didn't feel relieved when she saw the door fly open from the inside. 

Penny and Charles turned to the door, and despite the lack of light in the street, they could see the speck of blood all across the man. The man was still wearing the same clothes as the one he had this morning. However, he was drenched with sweat and blood — blood that didn't seem from him.
