GOLDSBORO, N.C. -- Police in North Carolina are investigating after a 12-year-old shot at two masked intruders, fatally wounding one of them, after they forced their way into an apartment and shot the boy's grandmother.
Officers responded about 1 a.m. Saturday to a report of a shooting in a residential area. Police arrived at the scene to find a 73-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wound. Shortly after, a man who had also been shot was found at a nearby intersection.
The victim and the suspect were both transported to Wayne UNC Health Care hospital. The man, identified as Khalil Herring, 19, of Goldsboro, died from his injuries.
The investigation revealed two people forced their way into the home, demanded money and shot the woman in the leg. During the robbery, a 12-year-old shot the intruders with a firearm in self-defense, causing them to flee, investigators said. Evidence suggests Herring was one of the two masked intruders and was shot during the incident.
"They came in the house, I open the door, I open it, and they came in there. ... One guy had a gun. They just put me down on the ground," said Randolph Bunn, the woman's son. Bunn is also the great-uncle of the child who fired the gun.
The woman was in the kitchen when the robbers confronted her. "I don't know why they shot her," Bunn said.
Goldsboro police said charges against the 12-year-old are not anticipated but the investigation is ongoing.
The intruder "just shot his grandma," Bunn said. "He would have shot him too, he would've shot me too. He would've killed us all."

Hero award for 12 y.o.!
Unless he’s white and the perps are black.
NC has the ‘Castle Doctrine’ on the books.
At first, I mistakenly looked up Chicago - and was surprised to find that Illinois does, too:

In San Francisco the kid would have already been sodomized in the California Youth "Authority" lockup.
Where’s the other masked perp? Dead Guy ain’t talkin’?
The kid should get a date with Mary Kay LeTorneau-unfortunately she’s no longer with us. We need volunteers.
Under China Joe’s gun confiscation plan, all criminals will ALSO be forced to give up their weapons.
“all criminals will ALSO be forced to give up their weapons.”
Shirley, you jest.
Just like a young Kyle Rittenhouse. God bless him.
Buy the kid a 12 ga pump and some 00’buck. Or just post his address and we can make it happen. I love happy stories.
Teach your kids how to shoot, respectfully, of course.
Perp's name was Kahlil.....any questions?
Respectfully? Meaning?
I’m 12 years old, I shot you and you’re gonna die for shooting grandma. Asshole, Sir.”
Learn how to shoot and when to shoot. Understand?
Well, finally! A valid reason to impose draconian gun control measures - because the bad guys will certainly obey Joke Xiden.
If someone breaks into my home...I don’t ask questions.
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
He never jests, and don’t call him Shirley.
Good thing he doesn’t live in New Mexico.

On Monday, S.B. 224 was introduced in the New Mexico Senate, sponsored by far-left state Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez (D-Bernalillo), which tries to not only force New Mexicans to follow guidelines on how they can store guns in their own home, it makes it a crime to teach one’s children how to shoot. The bill text reads...”
