A Wilson’s Mills, North Carolina, father shot and killed an alleged intruder Sunday night after the suspect allegedly accosted the man’s 11-year-old daughter.
The incident unfolded around 9:00 p.m. when the 23-year-old suspect allegedly entered the family’s back yard and acted threateningly toward the 11-year-old, ABC 11 reported.
Police Chief A.Z. Williams talked with the Johnston County Report and indicated the suspect allegedly “tried to accost” the little girl.
The other children in the back yard ran to the house and told the father what was happening. As they did, the suspect tried to follow them into the house, allegedly grabbing the handle on the door and trying to shake it open.
The father then shot the suspect, killing him.
The News & Observer pointed out the father has not been charged with any crime. Chief Williams intimated it was a simple situation of a father taking action to keep his family safe.
