Wounded 11 Year Old Fires Back At Home Invaders, Hits One

It’s easy to talk a good game about what you would do if ever faced with danger, but when the heat is on, it’s a different story. Some will freeze up, some will panic and others will find courage few expected them to have.

When two masked men forced their way into his house, an 11 year old boy and his mother hid in a bedroom. When the men fired a gun through the door to the bedroom, hitting the boy, he fought back:

The woman told deputies that the home invaders shot through the door and hit her son on the left hip area.

Her son had a 22 cal. Rifle and shot back at the alleged robbers.

The woman waited, opened the door, saw that the suspects were gone and called 911.

Deputies found blood all over the floor and noted that the front door had been knocked down.

Paramedics took the woman’s 11-year-old son to the McAllen Medical Center where he’s listed in stable condition.

But deputies told Action 4 News that a man with a gunshot wound to his neck ended up at the same hospital.

Investigators said nothing was taken from the home and that the wounded suspect was taken to a hospital in San Antonio for further treatment. He remains under guard.

Criminal charges are expected to be filed against him, if he survives.

Deputies said Border Patrol agents detained two Mexican nationals who were found in the area.

There are really two political issues here. First, if the woman didn’t have Second Amendment rights, both her and her son would possibly be dead now. And, if America had tighter control over their borders, Mexican nationals might not be busting down doors and shooting 11 year old boys.

But let’s hear it for the boy. He kept his cool and probably saved not only his life, but his mothers. He’s a true hero.
