One person was killed and another was injured in what became known as a “home fire” in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
Investigators say a 12-year-old boy shot dead one of the two men who entered 73-year-old Linda Ellis, the boy’s grandmother.
Officials said the two masked men forced themselves into the apartment and demanded money. At least one of the suspects, identified as 19-year-old Khalil Herring, was armed and apparently shot Ellis.
At that point, the 12-year-old boy shot at the men and hit Herring, and they fled.
Herring was found nearby and later died of his injuries.
