A humble hero

A Michigan boy who recently channeled his inner David and warded off his sister’s hulking, would-be kidnapper by shooting him with a slingshot has said he grabbed the unconventional weapon because he was “freaking out” at the unfolding danger and it was the closest thing.

“I get a bunch of money for no reason,” Owen said to the network. “I’m grateful for all of that but you don’t have to give me all the stuff for no reason. I know I did something right, but it’s just me.”

  1. The intro to the article confuses the “sling” that biblical David used to slay Goliath, with 5he “slingshot” that this kid used to thwart his sister’s attacker.

  6. For perspective, the kid would be a felon in New Jersey for having that sling shot.

  8. I noticed from the picture that either Dad or Mom is a combat veteran, from the Purple Heart certificate hanging on the wall behind them. Good family.
