One person is dead and another was injured after a violent home invasion that ended in gunfire in Goldsboro, North Carolina, Saturday morning.
Investigators say a 12-year-old boy shot dead one of the two men who had entered the apartment of Linda Ellis, the boy’s 73-year-old grandmother.
Officials said the two masked men entered the apartment and demanded money. At least one of the suspects, identified as 19-year-old Khalil Herring, was armed and allegedly shot Ellis.
At that moment, the 12-year-old shot the men and attacked Herring and they fled.
A herring was found nearby and he later died from his wounds.
