BREAKING NEWS – Hillsborough, North Caroilina – An 11-year-old boy struck an intruder in the back of the head with a machete to foil a home invasion , according to reports. The boy, who was home alone, answered a knock on the front door and saw a woman standing there. Simultaneously, a man broke into the home through a window and used the homeowner’s pellet gun to force the child into a bedroom closet. The boy escaped the closet and grabbed a machete, using it to strike the man in the head. He reportedly kicked the child in the stomach but the boy did not give up, swinging again at him but missing. The man again kicked the boy, and began to grab several items, including a television and a PlayStation, but fled the home without the electronics when he realized he was bleeding, according to a news release from the Orange County Sherriff’s Office. When 19-year-old Jataveon Dashawn Hall, checked into UNC Hospital and was arrested, he stated to the police, “This is a clear case of parents not monitoring their children, and allowing them to become violent. Robbery is grown folks stuff, and children should stay out of it. I hope the district attorney files charges against that punk, and tries him as an adult for his unprovoked brutal assault. Look at all this blood!”
