A young Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby on New Year's Eve, less than a week after the baby's father died of cancer.
Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband's funeral, claiming that he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello. The 18-year-old Oklahoma City area woman did not let him into her home that day.
On New Year's Eve Martin returned with another man, Dustin Stewart, and this time was armed with a 12-inch hunting knife. The two soon began trying to break into McKinley's home.

Henderson, N.C. — A 14-year-old Henderson boy calmly described in a 911 call how he shot an intruder in a home invasion last week.
"I just shot the man. He came around the corner. I shot him. He broke the whole glass out (of the back door)," the teen told the 911 dispatcher.
Authorities said Anthony Henderson Jr. 19, broke into the home at 586 S. Lynnbank Road on Thursday while the teen and his 17-year-old sister were home.

Phoenix - A 14-year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after shooting and critically injuring a gunman who broke into his family's home while he was babysitting his siblings.
WGRZ News reports that the incident occured around 4:30 PM while the boy and his siblings, ages 8, 10 and 12, were home alone. Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes told reporters that a woman initially rang the doorbell of the house, but since the children did not recognize her, they did not answer the door. Then, moments later, someone started banging heavily on the door, prompting the boy to run up to his parent's room and get his father's handgun. As the boy returned down the stairs, the intruder, a 37-year-old man, broke down the door and pointed a gun at him. The boy shot and wounded the man, then took his siblings to a neighbor's house until police arrived.
Seems to me that stories like those, which, other than the age of most of the intended victims, are fairly common, should take place of precedence over stories of demented thugs. I just may copy the above and send it to every media outlet I can find and challenge them to have some integrity and show the real face of guns in our republic.
