Child shoots intruder during home break-in

PORT ALLEN, LA (WAFB) – A

ten-year-old boy left home alone with his sister used his mother’s gun

to shoot an intruder in the face, police said. Late Tuesday,

West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff’s deputies received a call to a Port

Allen [LA] apartment complex after several shots rang out from inside one of

the apartments.
Deputies say Dean

Favron and Roderick Porter knocked several times on the apartment

door. The two young children, a ten-year-old boy and eight-year-old

girl, stood on the other side, terrified. "He told his sister to be

quiet and seconds later, they started kicking on the door and finally

kicked the door in," said Sheriff Mike Cazes. The two children ran to

their mother’s bedroom closet.In a panic, the ten-year-old grabbed his mother’s gun for protection. Once the two suspects opened the door,

threatening the kids, deputies say the boy fired a bullet into the lip

of Roderick Porter. The two men were taken to the hospital, where they

were later arrested.
Each man is held on $150,000 bond. A

third suspect, a juvenile, was taken to a local detention center. One

of the suspects, Dean Favron, just finished serving almost seven years

in prison for aggravated assault on a Baton Rouge police officer and

two carjacking charges. He was released on June 6th.[read more]Give that kid a medal and a truckload of ice cream! he’s not only doing the job that the COPS and the COURTS should be doing, but he’s also proving that the firearm is the great equalizer, and an armed response is the only protection you can rely on.
