Two would-be burglars are in police custody thanks to the quick actions of a 15-year-old.

One suspect is in jail, and the other is at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Investigators say they aren’t sure whether the injured suspect is going to make it. He was shot in both his legs and face by a 15-year-old who detectives say feared for his and his sister’s safety.

ABC13 arrived in northwest Harris County in time to see the second time the juvenile burglary suspect left a home on Royal Place Court. The first time, deputies believe, he was with a bleeding accomplice who was shot three times by a 15-year-old boy.

“All he said was, ‘Anybody seriously hurt?’ and he said, ‘Oh yeah, definitely,’” neighbor Renee Thompson said.

The blood on the driveway tells a burglary-gone-bad story.

Deputies say that around 2:30pm, the suspects broke into the home through a back window.

Moore County deputies say a convenience store holdup turned into a shootout between the alleged robbers and a store clerk’s husband.

It happened at the Exxon Stop at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Camp Easter Road in the Lakeview Community – just south of Vass, N.C – a little before 10:30 Monday night.

Deputies say clerk Grace Kelly – who is in her 70s – was closing the store for the night when several men walked in and tried to rob it. Kelly’s husband – 78-year-old Angus Kelly – was in the parking lot waiting for his wife and came to her aid with a shotgun.

Moore County Sheriff Lane Carter told ABC11 Angus Kelly fired on the robbers hitting one in the face. In the resulting gunfight, both Kelly and his wife were wounded.

A maintenance man at a Forestville apartment complex shot and killed a home invader Monday morning after the intruder forced the man into his apartment and fired a gun at him, police and law enforcement sources said.

The maintenance man was able to retrieve his own gun inside his apartment and return fire, fatally wounding the intruder, law enforcement sources said. Police said that the maintenance man had not been charged criminally and that the shooting in the 4400 block of Rena Road appeared to be self-defense.

“The victim . . . had a weapon inside the home that he used to shoot the suspect,” said Cpl. Mike Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Prince George’s County Police Department. “We believe that the victim had every right to defend himself.”

Should you teach your teenager how to safely handle a firearm and when to use it in self defense?

The father of this particular teenager happens to be a Harris County Constable, and it looks like he taught his son exactly what to do.

When two would-be burglars attempted to break into a home occupied by a 15 year old boy and his 12 year old sister, rather than leaving with a wide screen TV and jewelry, one of them left with a piece of lead in his gut.

A man who deputies say burglarized a home got more than he bargained for when the gun-toting, tough-talking homeowner caught and held him until deputies showed up.

Ken Easler, 73, said he went into his home on Jones Road before heading to the farmer’s market on Saturday morning when he heard someone inside the house.

“I was taking produce to the market,” he said. “I was going in the house to get something to drink.”

Easler said when he went into the house, he heard someone upstairs. He grabbed his gun and waited for the person to come downstairs.

“I put the clip in and jacked one in the chamber, and when I did, he had already started down the steps. He sat down. He sat down and held onto the rail.

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) – Never shot a gun? Never been to Utah? Got a “combat mindset”?

If yes to the above, you could qualify for a concealed gun permit from Utah, which is seeing record demand for permits from people all across the United States who never been to the state and have no intention of ever going.

Bedrock conservatism is enjoying a surge with the rise of the Tea Party movement, which advocates small government, individual rights and has made a strong showing in Utah. The debate may become only hotter after a Monday U.S. Supreme Court ruling extended gun rights to all cities and states.

Spurred by fears that U.S. President Barack Obama will add gun control to his already crowded domestic agenda, denizens of the once-wild West and other Americans are snapping up firearm permits. Some 90 million people in the United States have an estimated 200 million guns.

Fairfax, Va. — The National Rifle Association of America today praised the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decision in another landmark Second Amendment case. In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that the Second Amendment applies not just to Washington, D.C. and other federal enclaves, but protects the rights of all Americans throughout the country. The opinion in McDonald v. City of Chicago brings an end to the nearly 30 year-long handgun ban that the city has imposed on its law-abiding citizens.

“This is a landmark decision,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “The Second Amendment — as every citizen’s constitutional right — is now a real part of American constitutional law. The NRA will work to ensure this constitutional victory is not transformed into a practical defeat by activist judges defiant city councils or cynical politicians who seek to pervert, reverse or nullify the Supreme Court’s McDonald decision through Byzantine labyrinths of restrictions and regulations that render the Second Amendment inaccessible, unaffordable or otherwise impossible to experience in a practical, reasonable way.”

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court held Monday that Americans have the right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live, advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights.

By a 5-4 vote, the justices cast doubt on handgun bans in the Chicago area, but signaled that some limitations on the Constitution’s “right to keep and bear arms” could survive legal challenges.

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court, said that the Second Amendment right “applies equally to the federal government and the states.”

The court was split along familiar ideological lines, with five conservative-moderate justices in favor of gun rights and four liberals opposed. Chief Justice Roberts voted with the majority.

Two years ago, the court declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess guns, at least for purposes of self-defense in the home.

A Lexington man fired shots at a suspect who broke into his home early Wednesday morning.

Police say a man kicked in the front door of a home along Republic Court around 3 a.m. and entered the house. The home owner woke up when he heard the noise and grabbed his gun. He says that when he went into the hall and flipped on the lights, he saw the suspect standing there. The homeowner fired a few rounds and the suspect ran out of the house. Police say they don’t think the suspect was hit.
