Yet another teen has used deadly force to protect his home from intruders.

Police in North Carolina revealed a 14-year-old boy shot dead an intruder attempting to break into his home while he and his sister were alone.

The teen opened fire with a shotgun while his 17-year-old sister hid in a closet as a gang of men attempted to smash their way into their home.

The incident took place two days before 18-year-old Sarah McKinley shot and killed an intruder breaking into her home in Oklahoma

While on the phone with 911, the young mother shot and killed one of the intruders with a 12-gauge shotgun after he forced his way inside her home.

The Daily Mail's comments following the articles are perhaps the best barometer of British Tommy's real, un-PC attitudes. I select the most favored comments and read them to put my finger on the pulse still beating invisibly beneath the British MSM opinion molders.

That dispatcher should be fired and the entire 911 center staff re-trained.

This is happening more and more frequently here in NC. The gangsta's are now cruising rural areas, looking for remote houses to break into and rob. I have a friend who is in this situation and who has told several stories of cruising by the "boys from the hood", and how they react (very badly) when viewed or confronted. Trying to get a glimpse of their license plates for the LEO's will cause a jack-rabbit chase and hurled, profane insults. Rural break-ins are increasing... I listened to the 911 call, and give the 14 y/o credit for keeping his head and doing the right thing. Like I told my friend: It's not pretty out there, and getting worse. We need more "examples" like this to make these thugs think twice about messing with country folks...

Well said, and amen!

“Looks like the home boys pulled over in rural NC and found out about the 2nd Amendment the hard way.”

There are a lot of home boys in this part of Rural NC. They just picked the wrong house.

“The lesson: To read the REAL US news, American readers must read a BRITISH newspaper.”

No kidding. I’m 5 counties away and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

This happened 8 miles from my house and there has been little said here about it. The house where it happened is not far off the main road but is a good distance from other houses on either side. Other houses in that area are closer together, guess that’s why they chose that one.

Probably because he closest, large news reporting center is Little Zimbabwe (Durham).

WRAL covered the evening of the day it happened, but other than that not much has been reported.

I googled it. The Henderson newspaper, WRAL and News14 are the only outlets I can find in NC that reported it.

One would think it would get more reporting than that. We live in the adjacent county to where it happened. We get the local town newspaper for the town where we live not the Henderson Dispatch. The house where it happened is not in town but out in a rural area close to the county line.
