Wilson’s Mills father shoots, kills intruder who threatened his juvenile daughter<\/a><\/p>\n

WILSON’S MILLS, N.C. (WTVD) — A father shot and killed an intruder Sunday who had reportedly threatened his young daughter. Wilson’s Mill Police said.<\/p>\n

Police officers and Johnston County sheriff’s deputies responded to the 100 block of Parker Street just after 9 p.m. for a report of a breaking and entering in progress with a shooting.<\/p>\n

Police Chief A.Z. Williams told the JoCo Report that it appeared the suspect entered the home’s backyard where children were playing outside. He apparently tried to accost an 11-year-old girl, one of three children playing outside.<\/p>\n

The two other children ran inside and alerted the parents, Williams told ABC11.<\/p>\n

Police said the 23-year-old suspect tried to follow the children inside and violently shook the door handle.<\/p>\n

The homeowner then shot the intruder. The suspect’s name has not yet been released.<\/p>\n

Williams said the family did not know the attacker. The sheriff’s office said the homeowner fully cooperated with detectives and was not arrested.<\/p>\n

Williams told ABC11 that this was one of the first violent incidents he could remember in his five years with the department.<\/p>\n

At the request of Wilson’s Mills Police, the sheriff’s office has assumed the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
