New York boy, 10, grabs intruder's gun, fires shot
A 10-year-old boy picked up a gun that was dropped in his home by a would-be robber dressed as a deliveryman and fired a shot, helping to chase away the intruder and a partner, police said Tuesday. No injuries were reported.
Two men in disguise knocked on the door to the Brooklyn house on Monday evening, and two teenage sisters opened the door, police said. In video released Tuesday, one man is seen carrying an open cardboard box and pushing his way into the home; a second man quickly follows.
The intruders went upstairs to the second floor. A woman, the owner of the home, then slammed a bedroom door on one of the men's arms.
The man dropped his gun, police said, and it was picked up by the owner's son, who fired a round that hit a wall. Police said one of the men fired back but no one was hit and the men fled the red-brick house without stealing anything. Police were investigating.
