That guy did a great job with his slingshot. Next, he will have to get a training model for his little sister.

A Michigan teen’s quick thinking saved his little sister from a kidnapping attempt.
A kidnapping suspect reportedly targeted an eight-year-old while she was foraging mushrooms in the backyard of her rural home in Alpena Township. Michigan State Police said that the alleged attacker, a 17-year-old male, came out of the woods and ambushed the little girl, placing his hand on her mouth to muffle her screams for help.
The victim’s 13-year-old brother was inside the home as the attack unfolded but heard the commotion. While inside his room, the youngest teen used a slingshot to fire two shots at the attacker, aiming first at the head and then at the chest, local news station WGTU reported.
Taking advantage of the brief window of time after the suspect was struck, the girl was able to break free and run to safety. A family member then saw the alleged attacker had used a transited trail while fleeing the scene and phoned authorities

David?
I’d like to know if it was a wrist rocket.
And if the shot that hit the teen in the head had killed him, Eric Adams would charge the boy as an adult for manslaughter, no doubt.
Ooops... Alvin Bragg
Good thing it wasn’t in York or the brother’s ass would be grass.
I didn’t know todays boys would be interested in such a low tech device like a Slingshot.
Maybe, just like the Skateboard, the Slingshot goes in and out of fashion.
The pedoticians will be demeaning confiscation of slingshots tomorrow.
But good for this kid.
...racist slingshot!
also demanding them as well.
Give his parents an A+ in parenting!
“I’d like to know if it was a wrist rocket”.
We can hope it was. A marble or ball bearing would have done the job.
My uncle taught me the value of a slingshot. He was old school and grew up dirt poor where even a .22 was too expensive to shoot. It’s sort of like shooting a shotgun where you get a feel for where the round you’re sending down range will impact. It takes a little practice but it s dirt cheap and a survival skill everyone should be skilled at using.
Your automated correction function may have printed Bragg as 💩
Was it a black evil looking slingshot? https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pvuYJlkIL._AC_SL1500_.jpg
He would if the victim was the right color,,,
I’d be interested in a slingshot like that. Where did you find it? Make, model, info??
Blacks again? Lack of published description supports the possibility.
