A man is facing up to 15 years in jail after breaking into an apartment while wielding a machete,

Twain Thomas, 54, from Potacello, Idaho, was threatening residents with the weapon in his building in February 2013, when he kicked down the door of James Cvengros and his girlfriend Kaila Gearhart's home.

Mr Cvengros manage to capture the moment on a digital camera after he heard the commotion and decided to press record.

He then shot Thomas after the pair had screamed at him, demanding that he leave.

Mr Cvengros told Local 8 News: 'If he hadn't been shot at that time, then we would be looking at a murder case, not an attempted murder case.'

The footage was captured during Twain's sentencing on Thursday. He was given a five-year fixed term and a 10-year indeterminate sentence for a string of aggravated assault charges and attempted murder.

His neuro-psychologist Mark Corgiat found Twain has suffered from both PTSD and frontal-lobe damage to his brain due to a past car accident.

His defense attorney Dave Martinez said Thomas wasn't aware of what he was doing at the time.
The lawyer claimed he finally snapped out of it once he was shot.

Why tf did he have a gun? Why didn't he call the police instead? Why didn't he load it with blanks to scare him instead? America's gun laws

Because you can have a gun to defend yourself if a psycho with a machete tries to slaughter you in your own apartment. Thank goodness that the US allows this. There are several incidents that paint US's gun law in a bad manner, but this isn't one of them.

Right, police would have totally been there in time to save their asses from a damn machete, I'm sure.

Right call 911 after the guy walks through your paper door with armed with a machete. Even had they called them prior they probably would not have gotten there fast enough?

Let us assume the police did arrive there first, you think they are going to fire blanks at this guy? They would kill him as soon as he started at them.

This guy is lucky to be alive, he needs help if he does actually have brain damage.
