14-Year-Old Chases Off Home Invader, Gets Info Leading to Arrest

A courageous 14-year-old is being hailed a hero after chasing off a home invader. Avery Cormier’s mother had already left for work and her younger sister was sound asleep when she realized someone was breaking in at 7:30 a.m. “Somebody just tried to break into my house,” Avery told a 911 operator. Grabbing two steak knives from the kitchen, Avery confronted the intruder and screamed at him to leave. Incredibly, she had the presence of mind to record the man's license plate number as he left.
