CHARLOTTE, NC — Two grandparents faced a second shooting in one week at their home.
Last Tuesday, police say their 14-year-old grandson was forced to kill an intruder at their home on Rolling Fields Rd.Β
Β
Wednesday morning, George Wyant woke up to his wife and two grandsons screaming after someone shot through their window.
Β
“It’s like a terrorist,” said Wyant.
Β
His wife was alone last week with their 14-year-old grandson when police say Isai Delcid and his brother, Carlos Delcid, broke into the house.
Β
The teenager shot and killed Isai. Carlos is still in jail.
Β
“My grandson saved my life,” said Anna Marie Wyant.
Β
She spoke on camera only to WCCB Charlotte after the crime.
Β
She says she knows Carlos. He cleaned air ducts around her home.
Β
Police arrested him three times for stealing her medication. Then, the deadly break-in happened.
Β
“I know somebody got killed, but they shouldn’t have been here, shouldn’t be breaking into a home,” said George Wyant. “What do you expect people to do?”
Β
Their neighbor, Chuck Austin, agrees.
Β
“I mean, if somebody breaks into your home, and you’re fearing for your life, you do what you have to do,” said Austin.
Β
The latest shooting has them wondering what’s next and will someone get caught in the crossfire?
Β
“What do you want to do just keep this up forever until somebody else gets killed?” said George Wyant.
Β
Police aren’t saying if this latest shooting is related to last week’s break-in.
Β
“I say everybody arm themselves,” said George Wyant. “Get ready because you don’t know who’s coming in, what they’re going to do, what’s on their mind.”
Β
Police plan to stay outside the home until further notice. They are still searching for suspects in the latest shooting.
