Guns should be kept locked and away from children? Not always, not if your kids know how to use them.
NORTH BRANCH TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Police say an 11-year-old girl has managed to scare off an intruder by wielding a shotgun.
Lapeer County police say a man forced his way into the girl’s home in North Branch Township, about 35 miles northeast of Flint in Michigan’s rural Thumb region.
The Flint Journal reports that the girl, who was home alone, locked herself inside of a bathroom closet with a shotgun. Police say the man broke into the closet where he found the child. The 11-year-old pointed the weapon at the man who fled.
The girl was not harmed.
Police say they found the man’s vehicle about 30 minutes later in Imlay City. A 53-year-old Detroit man and a 31-year-old woman were taken into custody. They are at the Lapeer County Jail pending formal charges.
