A 13-year-old boy in northern Michigan who used a slingshot to thwart the attempted kidnapping of his younger sister last week was “just lucky,” he told a local outlet on Wednesday. The 8-year-old girl was mushroom-hunting near her home in Alpena Township when a male suspect materialized out of the trees, according to a Michigan State Police press release.
John Grimshaw toldlast Friday. The girl screamed, and that’s when her older brother leaped into action. “So I looked out the window and saw her being abducted by a person and I’m like freaking out,” the 13-year-old, identified as Owen Burns, told 9&10 News. Panicked, he grabbed his slingshot and “a marble and a gravel rock or something,” shooting the 17-year-old suspect in the head and the chest, allowing Owen’s sister to get away.
