One of the alleged intruders, suspected of being the shooter, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoldsboro police responded to a report of a shooting on South William Street at about 12:43 a.m.,\u201d&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/12-year-old-boy-fatally-shoots-intruder-who-tried-rob-n1257955?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma\">NBC News<\/a> reported.&nbsp;Saturday. \u201cPolice said two masked people forced their way into the apartment, demanded money and shot one of the residents, Linda Ellis, 73, whom a family member identified as the boy\u2019s grandmother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the alleged intruders, Khalil Herring, 19, of Goldsboro, was reportedly armed. He fled to a nearby intersection after being shot. Both he and Ellis, who was found in the apartment with a gunshot wound, ended up at Wayne UNC Health Care in Goldsboro. Herring died; Ellis was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA 12-year-old juvenile occupant of the residence shot at the suspects with a firearm in self-defense, causing them to flee the area,\u201d police officials stated, adding, \u201cPreliminary evidence suggest Khalil Herring was one of the two masked intruders and was shot during the robbery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intruders had demanded money from 73-year-old Linda Ellis and subsequently shot her, police said in a statement posted on the Goldsboro Police Department\u2019s Facebook page,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxcarolina.com\/a-suspect-is-dead-after-12-year-old-shoots-at-intruders-during-attempted-robbery-police\/article_4b2664ae-910d-51b9-9ffe-01b66bb5c086.html\">Fox Carolina<\/a> noted. The second intruder has not been arrested yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came in the house, I open the door, I open it, and they came in there\u2026 One guy had a gun. They just put me down on the ground. \u2026 The [73-year-old woman] was in the kitchen, I don\u2019t know why they shot her,\u201d said Randolph Bunn, Linda Ellis\u2019 son, the great-uncle of the 12-year-old, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/goldboro-police-goldsboro-break-in-s-william-street-shooting-12-year-old-shoots-at-home-intruders\/10336422\/\">ABC 11<\/a> reported. \u201c[The intruder] just shot his grandma\u2026 He would have shot him too; he would\u2019ve shot me too; he would\u2019ve killed us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chiquita Coley Ellis, Ellis\u2019 great niece, was shocked at the incident, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wral.com\/12-year-old-shoots-home-intruder-after-73-year-old-woman-shot-during-robbery\/19525248\/\">WRAL<\/a>, \u201cMy phone was constantly ringing, and ringing and ringing. I just couldn\u2019t believe she been shot because she\u2019s a good person.\u201d She added, \u201cWhy would somebody come into her house and do this? It\u2019s got to stop. I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re thinking around here in Goldsboro, but it\u2019s got to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No charges are expected to be filed against the boy.<\/p>\n<p>The incident comes amid renewed debate over gun control sparked by the new administration\u2019s agenda. The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-to-congress-enact-major-restrictions-on-constitutionally-protected-second-amendment-rights\">reported on Sunday<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Democrat President Joe Biden called on Congress to clamp down on Americans\u2019 constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights on Sunday, demanding gun bans and new laws that will allow people to sue gun manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets,\u201d Biden wrote to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement, Biden\u2019s call for \u201cbanning assault weapons\u201d likely amounts to calling for a ban on semi-automatic firearms, and there was no language included in the statement about allowing gun owners who currently own those weapons to be able to keep those weapons. If gun owners are not allowed to keep those specific semi-automatic firearms under a Biden ban, that would effectively amount to a mandatory gun confiscation-type program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
