  • A Florida 14-year-old girl is being hailed a hero after protecting her little sister from a stranger with a gun. The drama started when a man, with a shotgun, suddenly appeared outside of their home. The man banged on their front door. When he started to leave, he turned back around and opened the front door. For Leigha Kissinger, her priority was protecting her 4-year-old sister. She scooped her up and carried her to another room to hide. The family doesn’t plan to file charges and hopes the man will get the help he may need.

      From the amount of stories I've heard where people have their door unlocked, it seems quite common. Even if I leave my car for a minute I'll lock it. I've also gotten into the practice of locking my screen door too, makes it harder if someone wants to break down my door, they now have two doors they need to remove, which could give me a bit of extra time to form a defense/escape.

    Oh damn 😯, my heart just sank.... SANK, when I first started watching. I have daughters that age, it was almost like a reflex that she grabbed her lil sis and ran/hid.
    Even being scared and wondering what the heck was going on, she acted swift and brave. 🙏🏼🫶🏼👍🏼

    When the younger sister said "I love sissy", I actually nearly teared up at that. Beautiful!!

    I’m so glad no one was hurt and smart young lady! That man needs help with dementia, a sad disease!
    Those girls also may need help! PTSD is not a fun thing to go through!

      Heroes do brave things, they help people.
      Bravery is facing fear and acting appropriately.
      Cowardice is slamming the panic button at the slightest non threat and running to cower and hide like an animal.

      What back? Why would outside be safe? Calling police while you're trying to hide?
      You're just all around dumb.
      Police does absolutely nothing if you're directly confronted with an armed (presumed) attacker.
      Might as well call NATO.

    So glad to hear of a happy outcome versus another tragedy. She was brave & quick thinking and her dog was fearless & courageous, however….her family’s lack of practical safety measures and teaching the kids, could have equaled disastrous consequences. Please LOCK your doors folks, that’s the very first line of defense.
