A 12-year-old girl knew what to do when a home invader broke into her home.
The
sixth-grader hid in her bathroom closet, clutching a gun. When she saw
the handle of the bathroom door move, the 12-year-old girl shot a hole
through the door and hit the suspect in the chest.
Kendra St.
Clair, who had never fired a gun, protected the Calera, Oklahoma home
and herself in a real life “Home Alone” situation which featured a gun
instead of booby traps on Wednesday. Kendra initially called her mother
when a strange man allegedly knocked on the door and rang the door bell
several times. “I called my mom. She said go get the gun and hide in the
closet,” Kendra said.
She
called 911 when she saw him trying to enter through the back door. Soon
after, she heard the intruder inside the house. Stacey Jones, 32, had
been in the house for about six minutes, while Kendra spoke with the 911
dispatcher. “I heard the bathroom light switch turn on that leads to
the closet,” she said. “When I saw the doorknob turn, I fired the
weapon.”
Jones was taken to a hospital in Plano, Texas, before
being booked into the Bryan County Jail on Thursday. His bail was set at
$250,000.
