A true one happened in this little town...intruder not killed, only wounded by a teenaged boy who was "home alone" with his younger brother. Too bad he didn't grab his dad's magnum elk rifle instead of his 10/22. The 10/22 was easier to grab quickly as the bad guy crashed through the door. Hours earlier the bad guy had killed a man in a nearby town...a drug deal gone bad. Still, one 10/22 round in the shoulder convinced the bad guy it was better for him to make a hasty exit...no telling what he'd have done if the teenager wasn't armed.
