Between midnight and 1 a.m. on 13 February 2021, two young home invaders came to the door of 402 S. Williams St. in Goldsboro, North Carolina. The address is to a modest apartment complex, home of Linda Ellis, a 73-year-old grandmother.
Ellis son, Randolf Bunn, answered the door. As he opened it the two suspects forced their way in. They forced Bunn to the ground. At least one of them had a gun. They barged into the kitchen, where they encountered 73-Year-Old Linda. They shot her in the leg. From abc11.com:
“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…” The [73-year-old woman] was in the kitchen, I don’t know why they shot her,” said the son of the woman, Randolph Bunn. He also happens to be the great-uncle of the child who fired the gun.
Goldsboro police said charges against the 12-year-old are not anticipated but the investigation is ongoing.
“[The intruder] just shot his grandma… He would have shot him too, he would’ve shot me too, he would’ve killed us all,” Bunn continued.
As this was happening, a 12-year-old boy, said to be Linda’s grandson, accessed a firearm and opened fire on the home invaders. They fled the house. The police arrived minutes later. They found Ellis, wounded.
A bit down the street, they found Khalil Herring, on the ground with a gunshot wound. Linda is recovering at the hospital. Khalil died from his wounds. From witn.com :

This kid is a hero.
“Khalil died from his wounds.”
Saved the state some $$$ plus actual justice was served as he failed the “street temperature challenge”.
Nice story to open the day with.
Nice shootin, Tex.
Khalil Herring? Something fishy about that name.
Dead Fish. Get just about any newspaper to wrap him in.
+1
In days past many youngsters were well versed in the use of firearms at a early age.
I killed my first grouse at age 9 with a 20ga and hunted other small game with a .22rf before that.
Home invaders have lost their right to be alive. The innocent person has the right to repel the invader with whatever force is necessary. This right didn’t come from the government, and so the government can’t take it away from anyone.
Dad’s used to teach their kids gun safety and how to use them and shoot with them. Kids respected guns and were confident in using them. Homes were safer, communities were safer. I started shooting at age 4. My son started at age 5 and his son started at age 6. Daughters started young and one was in the National Guard. We all got guns and we are safer with them.
The name tells all.........
Otherwise a happy news story to start the day with.
Khalil Herring
Natch.
Mug shots?
True story!
I got my first BB gun when I was 6; single shot Savage .22 when I was 10; was using my dad’s 16 ga. Ithica double @ 12 (we lived on a farm).
Taught my firearm safety to both kids when they were very young - used to take them shooting in the cinder pits that surround Flagstaff, AZ.
Another happy ending.
I wonder if he was drunk.
Few things make me as sad as a waste of pickled herring.
Khalil Herring....now and forever known as Smoked Herring.
Good shooting!!
Indeed. Got ‘em both, no bystanders, no pet dog. Probably can’t grow up to be a cop...
