NORWALK, Calif. (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy who called 911 while
armed robbers threatened his parents hugged and delivered a high
five to the dispatcher who took his call.

The boy, identified only as Carlos, told reporters Wednesday he
remained calm during the ordeal because his mother used to make him practice dialing 911 in case of emergencies.

Carlos gave a hug to Los Angeles County Sheriff's dispatcher
Monique Patino, who called the boy "my little hero."

The assailants invaded Carlos' home and held his parents at
gunpoint Tuesday while he and his 6-year-old sister hid in a locked
bathroom. He begged the dispatcher to "bring cops. A lot of
them!... And bring soldiers, too."

The assailants left without stealing anything once they realized
the boy had called 911. Police are looking for the suspects.
