An 8-year-old girl was hunting for mushrooms in her backyard when someone popped out from the nearby woods, according to Michigan State Police.
The 17-year-old male then grabbed onto the girl, holding her mouth shut, “before a struggle ensued” on Wednesday, May 10, police said.
The girl’s 13-year-old brother saw the attack before his younger sister was able to break free, according to a May 12 news release.
Her brother used his slingshot to shoot the attacker, hitting him in his head and chest, police said.
Michigan State Police troopers from the Alpena Post were called to the home in Alpena Township for an attempted kidnapping, authorities said.
“A description of the suspect was aired, and a family member observed the suspect matching the description fleeing the area,” police said. “Alpena Post Troopers canvassed the area and were able to locate the suspect hiding at a nearby gas station.”
