Two guys with "extensive" records try to burgle a home in middle of day (1330). Boy (13) at home by himself gets mother's gun when he sees suspicious vehicle pull up behind the house. When one of the burglars tries to break in boy opens fire. At least one of the burglars fired back. Boy had better aim, one burglar drops the other at a hospital with three gunshot wounds, that one subsequently dies. The other one told police the reason he had holes in his car is that someone shot at his vehicle while driving on the interstate. He's in jail on various charges. Cops found a gun ("Colt .45 pistol") not belonging to the family in the back yard.

Interestingly mom says she had not trained him to use the gun, just to call 911.
