V: Very Cool Story

OK. Warning. Guns mentioned below. If you don’t like them. Stop reading. If you do like them, well then you’ll love this story and be sure to read. 🙂

Lapeer County (Michigan) Sheriff’s detectives are calling an 11-year-old who scared off a home invader by pointing a shotgun at him a “very brave girl”. Authorities say the girl was alone in a North Branch Township home the afternoon when the break-in occurred. While the stranger was circling the house to case it, the girl grabbed a shotimagesgun and hid in a bathroom closet. The suspect eventually broke into the home. When he opened the door to the closet where the girl was hiding, she pointed the shotgun at him and he ran away to a getaway car where his partner-in-crime had been waiting. The police, acting on descriptions from the girl, later caught and charged two Detroit residents–a 53-year-old man and his 31-year-old female accomplice–in a connection with crime.

What do you think? Was she brave or not? Should she have been allowed access to the shotgun? Please tell me what you think!! 🙂

I'm a Christ-loving, horse-crazy girl who loves cowboying and wild adventures. I like simple, mind-blowing science (not physics...too much math) that proves the existence of our Creator and the amazing fact that while I am standing up, my blood does not all rush to my feet...Wow!! I like to write and I love to read. I love talking to people about horses (even though I usually learn more that anyone else in the room.) I like Charles Dickens and the I, Q series. Eric and Leslie Ludy's books are pretty cool too. My dream is to foster and adopt when I graduate, to train horses by day, and write by night, and and use all that to change the world. With God, everything is possible, right? :)
