A juvenile reportedly retrieved a handgun Saturday morning in Manchester, Kentucky, and shot and killed two alleged armed intruders.
FOX 56 reported the incident occurred shortly before 4:30 a.m. after the two suspects allegedly forced their way into the home.
Kentucky State Police believe the deceased individuals, 51-year-old Jeffrey Allen and 44-year-old Roger Smith, entered the home with the intent to steal guns out of a safe.
WKYT/Gray News noted that a juvenile, who was home at the time, shot both men then “[escaped] through a bedroom window.” Allen died at the scene, and Smith died after being transported to a hospital.
Police are treating the juvenile’s actions as self-defense.
