Evidence pointed to Herring as one of the masked intruders who was shot during the burglary attempt.
Randolph Bunn, the woman’s son and the boy’s great-uncle, said: “They came in the house, I open the door, I open it, and they came in there… One guy had a gun. They just put me down on the ground… The [73-year-old woman] was in the kitchen, I don’t know why they shot her.”
Goldsboro police stated that no charges were expected against the 12-year-old, but the investigation is ongoing.
