11 year old shoots 16 year old "home invader", but neighbors say there was no break-in [View all]
http://gawker.com/11-year-old-shoots-16-year-old-home-invader-but-neig-1728746097?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenewsSo a day or two back, there was another of those supposed 'See? Good guys with guns save lives!' postings about how a heroic 11 year old fended off two 'home invaders' and protected his much younger sister.
Well, the story might not quite be that simple.
An 11-year-old boy in St. Louis County, Mo., fatally shot a 16-year-old who police believe was attempting a home invasion, but neighbors of the younger boy say what happened Thursday afternoon was not a break-in.
...
But neighbors say there’s no way there was a break-in in the middle of the day. One, Donna Jackson, says she saw a conversation between the two boys, then a point-blank shooting.
“It was not a break-in,” Jackson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “He shot him in the head.”
