I realize I'm late on this one ...

.
... but I just had to add my .02:

A 14-yea.r-old Phoenix boy shot an intruder who broke into his home while brandishing a gun as the teenager watched his three younger siblings, police said.

The teen and his brothers and sisters were at home alone at their residence at 55th Avenue a.nd Baseline when a woman rang the doorbell Friday. The teen didn't open the door because he didn't recognize her, Police Officer James Holmes said Saturday.

.Soon after, the teen heard a bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent's bedroom. When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man breaking through the front door and point a gun at him

Righteous! Give that kid a medal while you're at it.

Obviously, the parents did a bang up job of teaching their children ... give them a medal, too.
