I just read this story in the Longview News Journal. The link to the article is here. It happened this last Monday.
Here are the basics: Four juveniles, 14, 15, 16, and 17 years old, snuck out of their folks' homes at night and broke and entered into a home on a Parade of Homes list. The time of break-in was 3:30 a.m.
The owner heard glass breaking, retrieved his firearm, and went downstairs. He saw "several people standing inside the room, and one of them appeared to be holding a weapon." The owner fired at the burglars, killing the 15yo and wounding the 14yo.
The classic (disgusting) quote in the news article?
"Anyone who knows my son or knows any of these children will tell you these are good kids...what [the home owner] did to their lives has changed them forever."
"GOOD" kids. I don't think so. And it makes me sick that she blames the home owner...
