terrible. i think i screamed for hours. >> reporter: diren dede would never make it to his 18th birthday. >> i thought it was a joke. i was, like, there's no way possible. nothing like this has remotely happened to me or kind of anything like in missoula growing up. it was obviously a shock. >> it was just, like, the last person that would come to my mind, i guess. >> reporter: diren's soccer coach assumed that whatever happened to his star player, it wasn't diren's fault. >> i'm trying to imagine, did he go to a party and get shot by another kid? was he downtown missoula and got in a scuffle? i didn't understand it. >> reporter: so what did happen? police on the scene quickly concluded only one person was shot, the intruder mentioned in that 911 call. >> who got shot? >> the robber. he's badly injured. >> okay. so they entered your garage.
