to fire back at the suspect the way he did is heroic. it's our job to neutralize that threat. that is our job. >> san jose police used tear gas to coax the suspect out of the home. he suffered a gunshot wound and dog bite from a police canine. people are praising a 10-year-old pboy and mother as heroes from saving six elderly people from a fire. wayne freedman met with them today. >> reporter: hope this never happens to you. the ritual of picking through burned ruins looking to see what prized possessions you might salvage. for carlos, at 10 years old, it's a sad task. >> the flames were all the way up to the ceiling. >> reporter: the fire broke out in the kitchen last night at dinner time. carlos first spotted the smoking oven and told his mother.

cars. however, porsche mechanics say it's a hefty car at 4400 pounds. >> when the car is hit, it spins, and that spin, the german car obviously has more capability to handle the stability, the skid control than your average car. >> reporter: it can also be equipped with very fast brakes. when you're spending over $200,000, you want as an option high performance brakes so you can go fast and stop fast. in this case, for $10,000, you get these fixed brake on the front. it has a lower center of gravity than suvs adding to thatability in a crash. >> i think the combination of having a low center of gravity of that car, very quick reflexes, good handling, good breaking system, sure.

in a very sound car, it was the right car at the right time. >> reporter: the one thing it can't protect a driver from is damage to the frame. curry was hit in the front, then in the rear. if the damage is significant, it can mean the car is totaled. david louie, "abc7 news." >> thankfully, he and everyone else is okay. dr. christine blazy ford is sharing how her life has changed. she posted a statement on a go fund me page that raised nearly $648,000 for her. she says someone loned her family a place to stay. she closed the fund-raiser and says she will donate money not used for security to groups that support trauma survivors. she wrote, "your tremendous outpouring of support and kind letters made it possible for us to cope with the immeasurable stress" and goes on to stay, although coming forward was
