Young girl shoots man who was stabbing her mother, probably saved her life

From NewsOK.com:

An 11-year-old girl was called a hero by neighbors Wednesday after she used a handgun to shoot a man who was attacking her mother. 

About 4 a.m. Tuesday, Oklahoma City police were called to a home at 3308 SE 89 and found Brandy Moreno, who said she was stabbed by her ex-boyfriend, Leo Henry. 

Police said Henry broke into the house and began to attack Moreno until her daughter, Jayda Milsap, 11, shot Henry twice with a handgun. Henry tried to flee from the home after being shot and was found down the street, police said. . . .

Moreno’s neighbor, Carolyn Marsee, said she heard the shots fired by the girl early Wednesday. 

“I think she’s a hero,” Marsee said. . . .
