Kentucky Teen Stops Home Invaders & Fantasy Gunfights

During our SOTG Homeroom we have a positive story. Rather than become yet another in the ranks of long forgotten victims of crime, a 14-year-old Kentucky Teen defended his family’s home when two armed home invaders broke in.

Also, for our Tech Talk this week from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will discuss a fast way to get on paper when you need to zero a 1:1 optic such as the XPS sight.

What exactly is a “fantasy gunfight” and is that a positive thing or a negative? We will consider training, specifically scenario-based training and how that benefits those who carry a firearm for self-defense.

From www.nbcnews.com:

A 14-year-old Kentucky boy shot and killed two men trying to steal firearms from a safe in a home over the weekend, police said.

Clay County 911 got a call at about 4:24 a.m. Sunday about a shooting incident in Manchester. Manchester police found two people had been shot and requested assistance from Kentucky State Police, state police said in a news release.

Investigators found that the teen, who lives at the home, discovered the two men inside and saw them holding firearms, state police said.

“The juvenile, acting in self-defense, retrieved a handgun and shot both men before escaping through a bedroom window,” according to release.

Manchester Police Chief Jeff Couch told NBC News on Wednesday that no additional residents were in the home. It is unclear how the teen was able to find the handgun, which “belonged to his father,” Couch said.
