A teenager helped save his younger sister from an alleged kidnapper by shooting the suspect with his slingshot, Michigan authorities said. The 8-year-old girl was mushroom-hunting in her backyard in Alpena Township on Wednesday when "an unknown male appeared from the woods," the Michigan State Police said in a press release on Friday. Her 13-year-old brother also witnessed the attack and shot the assailant in the head and chest with his slingshot, police said. He was lodged in the Alpena County Jail without incident, police said.
