Boy Calls 911, "Send Police... a Lot of Them"

NORWALK---Authorities in Norwalk are looking for three suspects wanted in a brazen home invasion robbery thwarted by a brave 7-year-old boy.

Three suspects armed with handguns entered the home through an unlocked front door Tuesday morning and said they were there to take what they wanted, according to Norwalk sheriff's deputies.

The boy, who the suspects did not know was in the house, locked himself in a bathroom with his younger sister and called 911 while the suspects threatened his parents at gunpoint.

On the recording, he begs the operator to send police quickly, "a lot of them... And bring soldiers too."

Operator: "Can you tell me what happened?"

Boy: "They rang the door and they have guns to shoot my mom and dad."


Operator: "Right now?"

Boy: "Yes. Can you come really fast? Bring some cops?"

Operator: "I have them coming, hon. Listen, OK? Listen to me. Take a deep breath. How old are you?"

Boy: "Seven years old."

Operator: "Where are you at in the house?"

Boy: "Inside the bathroom."

Operator: "You're in the bathroom? Who's with you?"

Boy: "It's my sister."

Operator: "How old is she?"

Boy: "Six years old. Can you come really fast? Hurry up!"

Operator: "Yes. Stay on the line with me. Don't hang up."

Boy: "OK."

Operator: "Tell me exactly what happened, OK? Just stay where you are and don't hang up, whatever you do."
