Phoenix boy, 14, shoots armed intruder while watching three younger siblings
...the teen heard a bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent's bedroom. When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man breaking through the front door and point a gun at him. The boy shot the 37-year-old man, who is in critical condition but expected to survive and be booked into jail.

I hate the kids had to go through this but this boy definitely manned up for his siblings.

Good job on his part. How many want to bet that the media and comments complain that the boy had access to firearms.

I'm glad the guy didn't die. The last thing this kid needs is to carry any guilt at all over this incident.
