A 12-year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after fatally shooting one of two armed robbery suspects.
Goldsboro, North Carolina, police say that two armed robbery suspects entered 73-year-old Linda Ellis' home on Saturday demanding money, WTVD-TV reported Sunday.
One of the suspects reportedly shot Ellis in the leg, prompting Ellis' 12-year-old grandson to retrieve a handgun in the home and fire on the two suspects, causing them both to flee the scene.
Police discovered one suspect, 19-year-old Khalil Herring, near an intersection by the home while responding to the scene. From there, they transported him to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his gunshot injuries.
