One night, 8-year-old Kenny Dobbs awoke to the sound of people breaking into his home. Terrified, he ran to warn his father, only to discover his dad and an unknown assailant wrestling over a gun in the hallway.
“I just see a gun waving in the air,” Kenny told Eternity Sports in 2019. “My dad sees me, and he yells to me to go grab his shotgun.”
Kenny and his father often went hunting together, so the child was familiar with how to carry and use a gun, even at that young age. Once Kenny had the shotgun, he returned to the hallway, aimed, and waited for his dad to tell him to shoot.
Fortunately, the sight of a small child holding a shotgun stopped the attackers, who fled the scene.
