The harrowing 911 call made by a young mother whose Australian husband had just been shot by home intruders in the US has been revealed.  

Brenton Estorffe, 29, was gunned down in the lounge room of his home in Fort Bend County, Texas, just after midnight local time on Wednesday. 

His wife Angelenna Estorffe trembled during her emergency call to police, as she told the operator she was too scared to leave her room with her two children, aged one and three.

‘I don’t know. I’m so scared to walk over there. They shot him. Oh my God, I think he’s really hurt,’ Ms Estorffe said in the audio of the call, released by 7News. 

‘Baby are you okay… babe are you okay?’

Mr Estorffe – an aspiring NFL player – desperately fought to stop his attackers from getting to his wife and children.

He died just three minutes after turning 29.

The father, from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, was killed after getting up to investigate the sound of a glass door smash in the middle of the night.

Ms Estorffee told police she had heard glass shattering before her husband jumped up to check what was happening.

She was unable to tell police if the intruders were still inside her home during the call. 

‘No I don’t think so but I’m so scared I can’t walk over to my husband,’ she said. 

‘I’m so sorry I have two kids in the house. I don’t know what to do.

‘I’m just, I’m freaking out really bad right now … and I’m trying to get the number of my neighbour.’

Surveillance footage of a ‘vehicle of interest’ was released on Saturday by police in a bid to track down the intruders. 

A $25,000 reward is on offer for the person who can assist in finding the offenders.  

The devastated parents of Mr Estorffe received a series of frantic phone calls confirming their son had died. 

‘He wrestled those two blokes away from his wife and kids. That’s when they shot him. Unfortunately he paid the highest price,’ father Michael Estorffe said. 

He had initially been struggling to secure a visa to attend his son’s funeral to be held on Tuesday. 

Mr Estorffe’s visa was granted and he was able to fly into Texas on Sunday, telling reporters his priority was just to spend time with the family. 

‘It still really hasn’t sunk in that it’s real,’ he said as he tried to choke back the tears at the airport.
