Norwalk CA boy, 7, calls 9-1-1, saves family
“Bring cops . . . a lot of them! . . . And soldiers too,” the boy said.
A 7-year-old Norwalk, CA boy was called a hero today, after he hid in a bathroom with his 6-year-old sister, locked the door, and called 911 during a home-invasion robbery by three men with handguns who threatened his parents. The boy pleaded with Los Angeles County Sheriff dispatchers to send help. He thought that his parents had been shot.
“Can you come really fast? Please! Please! . . . They have guns. They shoot my mom and dad,” the boy said, according to a copy of the 911 tape that was released.
The robbers broke into the bathroom and found the boy. There was screaming on the 911 tape. According to authorities, one of the suspects grabbed the boy and asked who he called. The boy said, “911.”
The suspects fled without harming anyone or taking any property. 
Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (562) 863-8711.
What a brave little guy!
