A 14-year-old girl, Bresha Meadows, has been arrested and jailed in the Trumbull County Family Court in Ohio.
Bresha is facing aggravated murder charges for killing her own father, 41 year old Jonathan Meadows, but her family says she did it to protect her mother and her family.
Bresha Meadows has been accused of shooting her father with his own gun in their Warren home at 4 am on July 28.
Her mother called 911 right after the shooting took place.
The girl’s mother Brandi Meadows said:
“She is my hero; I wasn’t strong enough to get out and she helped me,”.

With tears streaming down her face, Brandi Meadows said that her husband abused her for years but that she had endured it and was afraid to leave.
She said she had filed for a protective order five years ago against her husband but later dismissed it.
She said:
“I am so sorry she had to go through this,” Brandi said Thursday. “She is my hero. She helped me; she helped all of us so we could have a better life.”
