“Also, from the article, the mother slammed a bedroom door on the arm of the armed intruder, who dropped his pistol.
Her ten year old son picked up the gun and fired at the perp.”
It is a little confusing, but they are referring to another incident, one that took place in June in Brooklyn:
“In June last year it was reported that a 10-year-old Brooklyn boy fought off two intruders at his home by picking up a gun and firing a shot after one of the invaders dropped their weapon.”
Thanks for the correction.
