Terrified 12-year-old shoots home invader through closet door

10/19/2012

Criminals, be warned: There are some sharpshooting latchkey kids out there. A 12-year-old girl home alone in rural Oklahoma, shot an invader who broke into her family’s home as the creeper opened the door to the closet where she was hiding. The slug passed through both the door and the suspect, who fled before being collared by police. The girl said the intruder had rung the bell, heard no answer and then kicked in the back door, before receiving his comeuppance of hot lead. She was unharmed throughout the terrifying ordeal, but the suspect, 32-year-old Stacey Jones, faces felony first degree burglary charges and up to 20 years in prison if convicted. [Source]
