Tex. pa dies saving son

A Texas father was shot dead while using his body to shield his 4-year-old son from the bullets of armed robbers — as his pregnant wife watched in horror.

Juvenal Antero, 24, was with his family in their Dallas apartment Saturday afternoon when two strangers knocked on the door, asking to borrow a plunger, the victim’s wife, Elizabel Cardenas, told WFAA TV. The strangers forced their way inside — and one had a gun.

Antero saw his child in the intruder’s crosshairs.

“My husband jumped in front of my son and took the bullet,” Cardenas told NBC DFW.
