GOLDSBORO, N.C (WGHP) --
A 19-year-old man who forced his way into an apartment and shot a woman inside early Saturday morning was then shot and killed by a 12-year-old boy, Goldsboro Police said.
When officers responded to a shooting at an apartment around Saturday 1 a.m., they found the 73-year-old resident with a gunshot wound.
After finding the woman who had been shot, officers then found a man with a gunshot wound at the intersection of William Street and Elm Street. The man was later identified as Khalil Herring, 19, of Goldsboro.
Both were taken to Wayne UNC Health Care. Herring died from his injuries.
The investigation revealed that Herring and another masked person broke into the 73-year-old woman’s residence and demanded money before the shooting.
As the robbery was happening, a 12-year-old shot the intruders, and they fled the residence. Goldsboro Police said they do not anticipate charging the 12-year-old.
