Police in North Carolina revealed a 14-year-old boy shot dead an intruder attempting to break into his home while he and his sister were alone.

The incident took place two days before 18-year-old Sarah McKinley shot and killed an intruder breaking into her home in Oklahoma. While on the phone with 911, the young mother shot and killed one of the intruders with a 12-gauge shotgun after he forced his way inside her home.

Yet another teen has used deadly force to protect his home from intruders.

Police in North Carolina revealed a 14-year-old boy shot dead an intruder attempting to break into his home while he and his sister were alone.

The teen opened fire with a shotgun while his 17-year-old sister hid in a closet as a gang of men attempted to smash their way into their home.

The incident took place two days before 18-year-old Sarah McKinley shot and killed an intruder breaking into her home in Oklahoma

While on the phone with 911, the young mother shot and killed one of the intruders with a 12-gauge shotgun after he forced his way inside her home.

The teen, who was told to do what she could to protect her three-month-old baby, has been flooded with messages of praise from well wishers.

In the North Carolina incident, police said the 14-year-old and his sister were at home in the rural town of Henderson when four men tried to break into the house.

 

Scene: A 14-year-old Henderson boy calmly described in a 911 call how he shot an intruder in a home invasion last week

 

 

Scene: Authorities said Michael Anthony Henderson Jr, 19, broke into the home at 586 S. Lynnbank Road on Thursday he and his 17-year-old sister were home

Michael Anthony Henderson Jr, 19, was shot dead.

He staggered away from the house and collapsed where he was found by police.

His brother Seneca, 20, and one other man Andrew Terry, 23, have already been charged in the case.

Police are still searching for a third man named as 21-year-old Jatwaun Davis.

 

'I just shot the man. He came around the corner. I shot him. He broke the whole glass out.

 

'I don't know how many it was who broke in. Just one came around the corner. I got one more in the chamber. I'm going to shoot again'

 

Investigators released a 911 call with the teen calmly describing how he shot the intruder.

In the call, the teen, says: 'I just shot the man. He came around the corner. I shot him. He broke the whole glass out (of the back door).'

He continues: 'I don't know how many it was (who broke in). Just one came around the corner. I got one more in the chamber. I'm going to shoot again,' the boy said.

'Do not, while I’m on the phone, do not fire that firearm, OK?' the dispatcher says

'What if another one comes in the house, ma'am?' he asked.

'Let me know, OK, if you see anybody. I will let you know (when a deputy gets to the house),' the dispatcher responded.

As the boy and his sister waited for deputies to arrive, he told the dispatcher that he was 'perfectly fine', but his sister was 'really shaken up'.

The boy even asks about the condition of the intruder.

'He's still outside. He's unconscious. I'm not sure if he's still living or not,' the dispatcher said.

'They only found one outside. Are you not sure how many it was?'

'I'm not sure how many it was, but when I shot, I didn't hear anybody running,' he said.

The teen's sister is earlier heard on a call to an emergency dispatcher saying someone was banging on the door trying to get in.

She tells the operator she is hiding in a closet but that her brother has a gun.

Police said the teen will not face any charges for killing Michael Henderson on December 29.

Under North Carolina's Castle Doctrine Law, homeowners can use deadly force if they fear their lives are in danger.

The family has declined to comment since the shooting.

I am not sure why the 911 operator said:

 

 

""Do not, while I’m on the phone, do not fire that firearm, OK?' the dispatcher says

'What if another one comes in the house, ma'am?' he asked.

'Let me know, OK, if you see anybody. I will let you know (when a deputy gets to the house),' the dispatcher responded.""

 

I'm just glad he didn't have to confront another intruder after hearing this, he didn't second guess himself the first time, would have hatted to see him do that after hearing that from the 911 operator.

Dispatcher tells him not to shoot again!!!

 

you beat me to it harry...

[this_is_nascar 162]

The dispatcher could have gotten them killed.

i think its great my children will know how to handle weapons like that when the become of age although idk about just leaving one around the house no matter how much control a child has

It is up to the parents to decide if their children are mature enough to keep a firearm around the house for self defense..One could always have a firearm locked up and children could call and get code or key hidden in house to open safe holding said firearm, but it could be to late by the time said safe gets open..but an alternative to leaving a firearm with unsafe child..

Just so you guys know, most dispatchers will only get a call like this once, if at all. Without thinking about or discussing this possibility, it is impossible to know what to say when a caller tells you he's going to shoot someone. Also, if a dispatcher says something that can be construed as telling someone to shoot, and the shooting is bad, the dispatcher becomes personally liable for that death.

I'm just guessing here: the dispatcher may have been trying to prevent a deputy being shot or shooting the teenager. If the kid reported another person coming around the corner and the dispatcher knew the deputy was not yet on-scene, he/she may have said OK to shoot.

Another good point, and the next one I was going to make.

[Krdshrk 3,878]

Wouldn't the dispatcher know if a cop arrived onsite or not? Don't they report in?

[Daedalus 19]

Yes, they do. Maybe I was unclear, but that was what I was trying to imply

We were typing at the same time, j0n. I had to edit my post on the fly (-;

They're supposed to. Home invasion calls get priority and most cops suck at radio discipline when they're stressed. That results in their radio making a noise that cannot be discerned when they think they're talking clearly.

[vladtepes 1,060]

he is asking about the attacker outside and she is reporting back the condition.. so it sounds like everything is happening quickly.. and more than likely police are there or almost there.. and as others stated she wants to keep him from accidentally killing a cop.. which would obviously be bad..

Understand, same thing at my job, you don't know how you are going to react when the SHTF but we do prepare all the time with different scenarios. I see your point, but after reading the other thread about the Woman who shot the intruder the person on the phone said "do what you need to do to protect your baby" I though that was great, no liability issues but wold have still liked to hear, "and yourself"...

Yea, but you guys get what I presume much more 'mandatory' training. Hell I have to take the initiative and request permission to attend outside training, let alone have it required.

When the first intruder walked in, the 14 year old boy was all like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

But then after he shot the intruder, he was all like:

Dispatcher tells him not to shoot again!!!

 

you beat me to it harry...

 

I'm guessing the dispatcher was trying to mitigate the risk of him shooting the responding unit and the responding unit shooting the kid.

[Mr.G 8]

Or really plan for it and be armed :-(

 

I hope the bad guys watch/read the news, might make them think twice before going after single moms and kids.
