One person is dead and another injured after a violent home invasion ended in gunfire early Saturday morning in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
Investigators say a 12-year-old boy shot and killed one of two men who entered the apartment of 73-year-old Linda Ellis, the boy’s 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 point, the 12-year-old boy shot at the men, hit Haring, and they fled.
Herring was found nearby and later died of his wounds.
