My LeaderStats are Broken? Help!

I took some parts and put them together to try to make a LeaderStats Script, so you can track your deaths and kills. Also, the kills in the future will be used to buy Paintball Guns. The script appears but on death, it didn't give the user(s) testing KO's and WO's. Please help and revise any errors, it means alot. Thank you so much!

The error occurs on Line 4, as you made the leaderstats an IntValue rather than a Model, it should be something like:

001function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
002 
003 
004    local stats = Instance.new("Model")

008    kills.Name = "Kills"
009    kills.Value = 1
010 
011    local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
012    deaths.Name = "Deaths"
013    deaths.Value = 1
014 
015    kills.Parent = stats
