Boy Offers Piggy Bank To Gunmen
Deputies Search For 3 Gunmen
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- An 8-year-old boy offered masked gunmen his piggy bank after they burst into his family's Pine Hills home early Thursday morning and fired a shot while demanding money.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, three men broke down a door and burst into the Yosemite Drive home at about 2 a.m., firing at least one shot and pistol-whipping a woman.
The woman, her daughter and 8-year-old son were inside the home, but a roommate who lives at the residence was not there, deputies said.
"They told us, 'We will kill ya'll.' So at that point, OK, I'm going to call on who I know -- and that's God," said the mother, who did not want to be identified. "They just kept saying, 'Shut up! Where's the money? We know you got some money.' I'm like, 'What money? I can't even pay my rent this month.'"
The boy then offered the masked gunmen his piggy bank.
"Even my little 8-year-old son, he said, 'I got the money. I know what you want,'" the boy's mother said. "He went and got his ... he went to go get his pennies and they said, 'No, little man.'"

The house was ransacked before the assailants fled, Orange County sheriff's deputies said. No money was stolen.
