Police in North Carolina say that a 12-year-old boy shot and killed an intruder Saturday during a home invasion robbery, ABC reports. A 73-year-old resident of the apartment where the attempted robbery occurred was shot by one of the suspects, the Goldsboro Police Department said in a statement, and was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators say that two masked people forced their way into the apartment around 1am, demanded money, and shot the resident, a woman, in the leg, per WTVD. The robbers fled after the 12-year-old boy shot at them in self-defense.
Responding officers located Khalil Herring, 19, nearby. Herring had a gunshot wound and is believed to be one of the robbers. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. “They came in the house—I open the door, I open it, and they came in there. One guy had a gun,” Randolph Bunn, the son of the injured woman and great uncle of the 12-year-old, tells WTVD. If the boy hadn’t acted, Bunn says, the armed intruder “would have shot him too.
Good lad!
This brightens my day.
Defend your home and families at all costs.
Well done, young man! May the nightmares end soon and the satisfaction of doing the right but difficult thing stay with you all your days.
Kinda like to know what weapon the kid was able to wield with success. Congrats to whoever trained him if that was also the case. Maybe he got lucky, but suspect he had some trigger time at some point.
No pic of the perp?
Sounds like an Irish name?
The new Merica. I don’t think it’s right for a 12 year old to deal with the mental bull shit of poking a hole thru some one. I guess we can thank a Libtard.
In biden’s* America, the 12 yr old will be prosecuted as an adult for murder.
The gun & ammo manufacturers will be promptly put out of business.
The “victim’s” family will be rewarded handsomely.
He will be given a golden casket and bronze statue in the town square.
An annual holiday will be instituted.
The NBA will take a knee and have his name imprinted on their jerseys.
*Sigh
With all that blood from being shot, obviously the perp was……(wait for it)…….a red Herring.
Last year, my 80+yo dad pulled in behind a car in my brothers driveway because he did not recognize it. 2 males came running out of the house and got in the car driven by teenage girl. They tried to drive through a field to escape. They ended up stealing 3 bullets, one of which ended up in a perps leg. Arrested at hospital. Dad got his gun back last week from the sheriff’s dept.
FAFO
Fucked around…found out
Damn.
Shooting a home invader is like the toughest merit badge to get.
So jealous.
Kudos to the 12 year old for doing what needed to be done. Gosh, where is our country going to. Pray everyday!!
God Bless us all!
I’m sure the media will find a racism angle in this somewhere. And probably child abuse as well. It’s what they do.
Screw the media. This kid never has to ask to cut a lawn again. Now he can just TELL you he’s cutting it…or better, he’ll tell YOU to cut the lawn and then pay him.
That young man is a hero. I hope he feels no more remorse for killing that maniac than he’d have for stepping on a cockroach. He should be proud that he saved his grandmother, his great uncle, and himself.
Yes, it’s great the kid knew to defend himself and his family. However, the neighborhood where the incident happened is gang infested. God only knows if that uncle or extended family are involved with illegal activity and this was retaliation.
No child should be put in life or death circumstances. There’s always more to the story. Thankfully, this young man had the instincts to survive.
99th, I get your point and I would trust that 12 yr old over our geriatric ignorant pig eyed sack of shit blithering idiot moronic fossil that temporarily resides at fenced-in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…
@refuse/ resist, why an entire year to get his gun back?
As to the neighborhood this family lives in…maybe they can’t afford a better one.

I finally figured out why the fence up.
It’s to keep Alzheimer’s Joe from wandering off.
Why he fence was put up.
Why the fence was put up.
LocoBlancoSaltine.
Agreed. This kid has much better sense.
