It happened around 5 p.m. Wednesday evening in Lincoln, Nebraska. The mother of the 9-year-old told police she left him at home when she went to pick up her other children.

“I was upstairs when it happened,” said Shane Shafer, a 4th grader.

He said he heard someone at the front door.

“I thought it was my mom because I heard someone trying to open the door, and I thought it was her trying to unlock the door with her keys,” he said.
