WILSON'S MILLS, N.C. (WTVD) -- No charges will be filed against a Wilson's Mills father who shot and killed an intruder who threatened his 11-year-old daughter, the Johnston County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
The incident happened Sunday -- Father's Day -- in the 100 block of Parker Street just after 9 p.m. According to the investigation, a man entered the backyard of the home where children were playing and attempted to accost the young girl. Other children ran inside to alert adults and when the intruder tried to follow them into the house -- violently shaking the door handle -- the homeowner shot him.
