A 14-year-old boy home alone in Houston, Texas, shot and killed an alleged robber around 7:00 a.m. Thursday.
The Forth Worth Star-Telegram reported that the 14-year-old “saw the man at the front door…[allegedly] wearing gloves and a backpack.”
The 14-year-old’s parents were gone. He grabbed a handgun and “fired five or six shots at the man,” killing the alleged robber.
FOX 26 noted there had been “three calls in the area about someone who was kicking and pulling on doors in the neighborhood while asking for money.”
A neighbor, Araceli Herrera, saw the whole thing, including the boy opening the door and firing shots. She said she even saw the alleged robber collapse.
Herrera indicated the 14-year-old’s mother returned home shortly after the incident occurred and the boy handed his mother the handgun.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said, “We’re still trying to confirm if [the deceased man] had opened the door, or unlocked the door, or [was] just pulling back and forth on the doorknob.”
