On a Thursday morning in Lakewood, California, a 19-year-old woke up to gunshots in her own home. Her father—52-year-old Hector Alfaro—had already killed her mother and 17-year-old sister. Now he was coming for her. He aimed. He fired. He missed. Twice. Those two misses are the only reason she’s alive today.
