One person is dead and another injured after a violent home invasion ended in a gunfight in Goldsboro, North Carolina, on Saturday morning.
Investigators say a 12-year-old boy shot and killed one of the two men who entered the apartment of Linda Ellis, 73, the boy’s grandmother.
Authorities said the two masked men broke into the apartment and demanded money. At least one of the suspects, identified as Khalil Herring, 19, was armed and reportedly shot Ellis.
At that point, the 12-year-old boy shot the men, hitting Herring, and they fled.
Herring was found nearby and later died of his injuries.
