“An 11-year-old girl was home alone when police say a man pulled into the driveway of the Lapeer County, Michigan, residence and started knocking on all the doors to see if anyone was home. When no one answered, the suspect reportedly forced his way in.
Realizing the potential danger she faced, the young girl grabbed her father’s shotgun and hid inside a closet.
The man reportedly “forced” open the bedroom and closet doors, finding the 11-year-old girl’s hiding place. Then he realized what she was pointing at him: a shotgun.
Detective sergeant Jason Parks told WNEM-TV that the girl’s armed response made the suspect run away. The girl was not harmed during the terrifying incident.
Parks revealed that the girl’s father is an “avid hunter,” therefore, his daughter is “familiar with weapons and inside that closet is where the gun case is.”
