Now it's time to recognize our Hero of the Day . . . an unidentified 7-year-old boy from Norwalk, California (--about 15 miles south of Los Angeles).
--On Tuesday morning, the boy was at home when three armed men broke into the house and started threatening his parents at gunpoint. Before they realized he was there, the boy grabbed his younger sister and ran into a bathroom. Then he called 911.
--On the 911 tape, the kid can be heard telling the dispatcher that the men, quote, "rang the door, and they have guns to shoot my mom and dad." Then he asks the operator to send the police and, quote, "bring soldiers too." But listen to this . . .
--While the boy was on the phone with 911, the robbers realized someone was in the bathroom, so they broke down the door.
--And when they asked the boy who he was talking to, he told them it was 911, and the cops were coming. At which point the thieves left the house without hurting anyone, or even stealing anything. (!!!)
--According to a police spokesman, quote, "If not for the brave and educated actions of the 7-year-old boy, this might have ended tragically." (--No doubt. Good work, kid.) (KTLA News 5 - Los Angeles)
