GOLDSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, FEB 13, 2021
Two masked men forced their way into a Goldsboro residence in the dead of night and demanded cash and valuables from Linda Ellis, a 73 year old woman who they encountered inside. During the struggle, one of the perpetrators, identified as 19 year old Khalil Herring shot the woman at least once. That was when a 12 year old boy in the same residence returned fire from a hidden position, fatally striking Herring and causing both robbers to flee. Khalil Herring collapsed at a nearby intersection and was pronounced dead upon arrival at hospital. The woman, Linda Ellis, is in stable condition and expected to survive. There has been no word yet if the second perp had sustained any gunshot wounds. The weapon that the young hero used has not been listed either. Police are saying that they expect no charges to be filed against the young man for his appropriate use of lethal force in this harrowing situation. The investigation is still ongoing as of right now.
