A 10-year-old boy managed to scared off armed intruders who broke into his Brooklyn home. Surveillance video released by police shows someone in the boy’s house on Monday afternoon opening the door for a man wearing a FedEx uniform, and then another many followed.
Authorities say the two men were armed, and upon making their way into the house, demanded money from the nine people inside the home.
One of the victims was able to close the door on one of the perpetrator’s arm, making him drop his gun, when the perpetrator came up the stairs. The young boy picked up the gun and fired once. The armed suspect fired back, before both men fled the scene empty-handed.
Both bullets missed, and there were no injuries, but the two assailants were still at large Tuesday. The investigation is still ongoing.
