Never Bring a Pellet Gun to a Real Gun Fight

A homeowner protecting his property takes on four home invaders, sending two miscreants to their eternal reward:
About 2 a.m. Friday, when a San Marcos resident heard a commotion outside his bedroom, he grabbed his .40-caliber Glock pistol and opened the door, police said. When he saw a teenager pointing a gun at him, according to police, the resident fired several shots that left two Luling 16-year-olds dead and another teen seriously wounded. A fourth teen fled to escape from the gunfire, police said.

Three of the four youths appeared to be holding weapons, police say. One had a handgun, and the other two had pellet guns that looked like handguns, police said.
Texas has some very homeowner-friendly gun laws, and given the number of stories like this every year, you'd think some folks would learn that robbing a Texas home is like playing Russian Roulette with a pistol with only one empty chamber.

It is sad two teenagers had to die this way, but that is what is happening in America.

Where were the parents?

It's happening in the UK as well. Two recent stories of murder and attempted murder by kids as young as 10 years of age. In fact, these crimes were brutal and premeditated.

In a world without God Almighty, (YWEH) everything becomes relative.

Congratulations to the Homeowner.
If more people owned guns for their personal protection and were properly trained in their use we would be able to see more of this which most likely would lessen the number of criminals having to be housed in prisons, they could just short circuit the justice system and go on to their eternal reward.

As annsnewfriend would confirm, that's what the police in Prince George's County , MD do.
