Police: SC Boy, 13, Fatally Shoots Burglar With Mom’s Gun
Around 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, a 13-year-old South Carolina boy was home alone when a car pulled up behind his house. The driver stayed in the car while an armed man exited the vehicle and began walking toward the home. The teen did not know the men, but knew where his mother kept her gun, so he ran and grabbed it. As the armed man tried to break the back door, the teen opened fire, hitting the man, who dropped his gun and ran back to the car.
