Silly comment. The fact that he broke into a home, and hunted this little girl down in her hiding place is not debatable. You're defending the indefensible actions of this predator??? I wonder why...seriously.

Exactly, she should have called 911 and wait for their arrival. The cops will deal with the intruder.


If those who don't get it, I am being sarcastic.

Where is the proof that he even knew anyone was in the house? As far as has been reported he was a burglar. Period.

Not defending him. He was a thief. No proof that he was a rapist, murderer, or pedophile. That's just sh*t you've all made up to defend your case.

So just execute all burglars since you believe they deserve to die.

I support the right for someone to defend their property. It wasn't the burglar's house. Plain and simple.

What happens in your country to burglars??? This is a serious question.
And, this guy got winged....shot in the shoulder....IMO Any doubts of his intention ended at the door he kicked in. I stand by my previous opinions. Thats what this forum is, opinion. You keep challenging others opinions...What are you opinions about what should be done in this case...if it were your 12 year old daughter..What should she have done?? In your country...What would have happened? Enlighten us...please..and I am not being sarcastic.

So you would feel okay if it was your daughter in that situation ? Would you tell her to just stand their with the "thief" that had forced his way into the house and call 911 and wait until the police got there ?

Personally, I'd error on the side of caution. My daughters life over that of the "thief"... I'd pick my daughters.

Yea, teach 'em young to shoot people when they try to take your 'stuff'!
The article says the stranger rang the door bell then ran to the back and kicked the door in. The 12 year old called her parents and they told her to get the gun and hide. There were no police on the scene no police to be shot.
She hides in the closet . Stranger who kicked in the back door who took nothing and made his way looking through the house. He had a chance to rob the house and chose to hunt the girl.
He starts to open the closet. she knows if she shoots she might not be raped and killed. She does not shoot she trusts the guy who broke into the house not to hurt her.
I hope all 12 year old girls are trained like this girl.
She shot at a man who had broken into her house who had robbed nothing.
She chose to defend herself.
Good for her
