The scumbag is DAMNED LUCKY the kid didn't have a .22 or larger (preferably a 12-ga, but he really didn't need that burden at this point in his life and his BB gun was certainly better than nothing [but I bet he wishes he had something much more powerful for MANY years afterwards!!])!!

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Police in Bellingham, Wash., say a 10-year-old boy defended his mother from an attacker by shooting him in the face with a BB rifle as many as four times.
The man accused of the attack rents a room in the woman's home and came home drunk and angry Tuesday morning. Police say he kicked in a bedroom door and started choking the woman.
Officers say the boy hit the attacker with a board and then shot him in the face with the pump-action BB rifle as he grappled with the woman.
The woman and boy were able to flee to a neighbor's home and call for help.
The 45-year-old man was treated at a hospital and arrested for investigation of assault and making death threats.

Probably more effective used as a club.

Gotta be careful with the BB guns, you can shoot your eye out. Especially if it is a Red Ryder...

Not so sure. If he had the presence of mind to pump it all the way up, I think he chose well. I saw a 7yr old boy get a .177 pellet in the stomach from a 10 pump when I was a kid. Found out later, the pellet lodged about an inch from his spine.
To the hero's credit, he did try a board first.

Kid has the makings of a Marine. One mind, any weapon.

Good for him! I hope his mom rewards him with shooting lessons.
