Grandson Shoots Intruder Who Shot His Grandmother

The Daily Mail reported on February 14 about how the brave actions of a boy saved the lives of his family during an apartment break-in in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Police say two masked robbers forced their way into the apartment around 1 a.m., and one of the burglars, who was armed, fired at the boy’s grandmother. One of the bullets hit her in the leg, but her 12-year-old grandson quickly responded, grabbing a loaded firearm and shooting back at the intruders. 

The two burglars fled from the house after being fired on, and police who arrived on the scene discovered a wounded suspect a half-block from the grandmother’s apartment. The wounded suspect was taken for treatment to a nearby medical facility, where he later succumbed to his gunshot wound. 

The police issued a statement identifying the deceased suspect as 19-year-old Khalil Herring and stating they had evidence that links the deceased suspect to the burglary attempt of the apartment.
