Siblings’ love is one of the strongest and purest forms of love there is, and this story is yet another proof of that.
Owen Burns, a 13-year-old boy Alpena Township in Michigan, was getting ready to play his favorite game “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” on his PlayStation 3 when he suddenly heard his younger sister screaming. The screams were coming from the yard where she was playing and goofing around. Concerned that she might be in trouble, Owen rushed towards the window and that’s when his little heart froze. Someone was forcefully dragging the 8-year-old girl towards the woods that edged the family’s home.

Aware that he needed to act as fast as possible, Owen grabbed the slingshot that his mom bought for him for $3 and reached to the nearest ammunition he could get his hands on, a marble and a rock. Having practiced how to use the slingshot by hitting used orange cans, he knew he could hit the kidnapper too.

Believe it or not, Owen was able to hit the kidnapper both times, once between his eyes, and the second time on the chest. “He was swearing. He was cussing,” Owen told Washington Post.
