A brave 7-year old boy is being hailed as a hero tonight for his quick thinking tonight over on Cresson Avenue in Norwalk during a scary home-invasion robbery.

Three suspects armed with handguns entered a residence through an unlocked front door and announced that they were there to "take what they wanted."

I can't even imagine the fear this family must be feeling tonight after this horrific ordeal.

Here are the details from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department:

While inside the house, the seven year old boy, who had gone undetected by the suspects, hid in a locked bathroom, and dialed 9-1-1. While the frightened boy explained to the Sheriff’s 9-1-1 dispatcher what was happening, the suspects realized someone was locked in the bathroom and forced entry.

One of the suspects grabbed the seven year old and took control of the phone as he was talking to 9-1-1. The suspect asked the boy who he called and when the victim stated “9-1-1,” the suspects immediately fled the location without injuring the residents or obtaining any property.

The suspects left the area in a Grey Acura RXS 2 door vehicle.

As a result of the phone conversation, the Sheriff’s 9-1-1 Operator initially believed two people had  been shot. Thank goodness that Deputies arrived within less than three minutes, and found that while the victims were very frightened, none of them had been injured.

Captain Pat Maxwell, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, “If not for the brave and educated actions of the 7-year old boy, this might have ended tragically. If a witness can provide more information on these suspects, we can stop this from happening to someone else.”

So tonight, we need to be paying extra attention around the hood here in  Cerritos, Artesia, Norwalk, DowneyBellflower and SFS.
