[h=1]South Carolina Boy, 13, Fatally Shoots Burglar, Scares Off Second Suspect: PA 13-year-old South Carolina boy fatally shot one burglary suspect and scared off a second with his mother's gun, police said.[/h]

[FONT=&quot]The unidentified teenager told the Charleston County Sheriff's Office that he was alone on Tuesday afternoon in his family's home, north of North Charleston, when someone tried to break in, according to NBC affiliate WCBD.[/FONT]
[h=1][FONT=&quot]The boy grabbed his mother's gun, and then waited at the back door of the home, the station reported. Police say the boy fired repeatedly through the door, and someone outside shot back.[/FONT][/h]

This scenario could have turned out quite differently had the boy not had access to a gun.

Mom should have taught him to use it, but he did OK anyway.

I feel weird cheering on a kid killing someone...I also think he beat some serious odds, as the chances of this going wrong dwarf the actual results. The kid got lucky. I'm glad he's alive.
