    Conjecture. Complete fabrication.

    Would not happen because my child would have been told to get out of the house as quickly as possible if someone is attempting to rob it. Your scenario is much more likely in this actual case the next time something like this happens.

    All Soros trolls are sure that the kid would rather be dead then live knowing that he killed a criminal scumbag. Maybe psychiatrist will convince the kid to kill himself for the good of other criminals in the area.

    You think that the burglars could see through walls or do you think that the burglars chose an occupied house?

    Irrelevant, however, why would they approach a house they knew to be unoccupied, with a drawn handgun? Clearly they were ready and willing to shoot anyone they found inside.

    I agree. 5 minutes is a good response time. Enough time to close off the roads and then approach the house - no sirens to be used. The burglars would not be aware that they have been spotted

    The kid would be happier if he was dead?

    Occupied by children. Do adult criminals fear children? Or do they scare them into telling where the valuables are hidden? Like the guns that they are forbidden to touch or where the safe is? Child rape is also not uncommon among these types.
    Does your child have a way off the second floor? Own a cell phone to call 911 AFTER he fled the home? Have combat skills , as not to be grabbed trying to run out? My children will learn to shoot while young and learn the consequences of mishandling weapons at the same time. I choose reality where everyone knows the criminals are armed and the Cops take too long to show up to make any difference.

    Liberals are not worried about the kid dying. They worry about him surviving to tell the tale, and grow up to be a conservative gun owner that votes.

    It was the middle of the day. I doubt that there were neighbors around. Police take too long to respond. Even a 5 minute police response would have been too long.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The police couldn't have responded before the ARMED man broke into the house.

    Actually, he dialed GLOCK.

    So your police force can respond in 30 seconds?

    And then the criminal's buddy could have shot him.

    Where do you live? Close off roads on the way to a call? Must be a Disney property. Especially if you think the residents at the crime scene are still unhurt after 5 min. Big padded gloves and no weapon of any kind and it takes Mike Tyson mere seconds to KO a big strong athlete. What could an unarmed and gloved person do in 5 min?

    Keep on preaching that 911 fantasy. It will be your death, if you try to live it.

    Then why the gun? Not sure about the law in their state, but in FL, carrying a gun to a crime automatically adds 5 years to the punishment, even if the gun isn't used in the crime. In this case, the man must have had his gun in hand (otherwise the gun would have been on his person not the doorstep), and he dropped it when he was shot. You don't have your gun in hand if you don't think somebody is in the house. I'm glad that you aren't in charge of writing laws in my country.

    They had a good idea it might be, otherwise the now dead criminal wouldn't have had his gun in hand (which he dropped when shot).

    - - - Updated - - -

    With gun in hand, they must have thought it at least had the possibility of being occupied.

    5 minutes is a phenomenal response time. Last time I called the police about a burglar, it took over 10 (and I only lived 5 minutes from the station).

    Okay...as requested:

    "When children unintentionally shoot themselves or other people, media reports typically follow. A three-year-old boy is playing with a gun and shoots himself in the face. A four-year-old girl discovers a gun and shoots her four-year-old cousin, killing him. A three-year-old boy shoots himself in the head. A five-year-old accidentally shoots a three-year-old girl. A five-year-old boy accidentally shoots and kills himself. A four-year-old boy accidentally shoots himself. A two-year-old boy shoots and kills his 11-year-old sister. It goes on like this, story after story of unintentional shootings involving children that lead to injuries or deaths. (Many unintentional shootings of children occur when they are with people of similar ages, Vernick said, though many also involve children by themselves.)"

    Killing causes no trauma and the wisest people keep guns which means in their house

    Yeah, better to be dead according to you

    You have no idea what psychological problems someone you don't know would have. I killed plenty in Vietnam and I have no problems at all from taking a life

    But none of that happened in this case.

    You're right, kindergarteners, pre-k kids, and toddlers shouldn't carry guns. They aren't known to be safe with ANYTHING.

    Because when someone is breaking into your home and you fear for your life... your first concern is therapy.

    Brilliant.

    Now is this from the mouth of the kid or the mouth of the thug that tried to rob the house? Or was it a witness?

    Seems like you're on the burglar's side. I assume you'll be attending the funeral?

    Interesting.

    The kid protected himself and his home. Well done. Responsible parenting by teaching the importance of SAFETY and gun use saved lives of INNOCENT people.

    Not really...

    That link says this:

    The car's driver, Ira Bennett, claimed the bullet holes in his car came from someone firing at the vehicle on a motorway, the affidavit states.

    The new link says "The two suspects fled in their car, and the boy continued shooting at them as they drove away, according to an affidavit."

    It is fair to question the veracity of the affidavit; who made the statement, etc, however, if it is to be believed, then the boy actually did fire at the vehicle. And according to the initial report, there were bullet holes in the vehicle when it arrived at the hospital. Whether the boy's shots caused the bullet holes is a matter that has not yet been disclosed.
