A family is on edge after a burglary in New Castle, Lawrence County over the weekend. 

Early Sunday morning around 1 a.m., Stacy Burley's 11-year-old daughter heard a knock on the door. She and her brother and sisters, all younger than 16, were the only ones home.

The 11-year-old girl answered the door and then a man pushed her aside, pointing a gun at her head.

“Worst phone call I ever got in my life, ever -- not knowing if my kids were dead or not,” said Burley.

Burley said the burglar went upstairs next.

“When I came home my drawers were all pulled out, and my bed was lifted up,” she said.

While the burglar was upstairs, another man stood on the porch. 

Upstairs in a closet, two girls made a frantic call to their mom.

“She was like ‘guns’ and ‘trying to kill us.’  Then, I got in the car and flew home,” said Burley.

The men got away with a pair of earrings that had Burley’s name on them. 

Burley is grateful her children are alive.

“The gun could have easily went off and killed somebody,” she said.
