ST. LOUIS, MO – Police say an 11-year-old child shot and killed a 16-year-old suspect that was trying to break into a home in St. Louis.

KTVI reports two suspects had tried to break into the home before, and one of the suspects got into an unlocked front door.

Two children, ages 11 and 4, were home alone at around 2:30pm when the suspects came in.

Investigators say the first suspect was shot in the head with a handgun, and the second suspect ran off.

Police believe the children’s mother bought the gun after prior attempted break-ins.  They are still talking with the mother about why the children were home alone.

Both children were not hurt, and police have taken the second suspect into custody.
