Teenage Hero Saves Siblings From Intruders

Teenage and hero don't often collide in the same sentence.  This young man did everything right, and I hope his parents are proud of him.

PHOENIX — Police say a 14-year-old boy shot an intruder who broke into his Phoenix home and pulled a gun on him as he was watching his three younger siblings.

Police Officer James Holmes said Saturday that the teen and his brothers and sisters were at home alone when a woman rang the doorbell Friday. The teen didn't open the door because he didn't recognize her.

Soon after, 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.
If he had done anything differently, it's hard to say how it may have turned out.  But anyone who puts a gun on a boy that age wouldn't have spared them much.  Good for this kid.
