Hope this isn't a dupe.

Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders:

Butte , Montana November 5, 2007

Two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.

It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine.

Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.

Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive.

It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.

Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news........an 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home, and herself......against two murderous, illegal immigrants.......and she wins,
she is still alive.

Now that is Gun Control!

I need that link, please.

Good for her!

+1000 on that story

I love a happy ending.

Hope the last word he ever heard was 'PULL!'

AWESOME!  SIMPLY FUCKING AWESOME!

That 11 year old did the world a favor.

In one story I saw solutions to several national problems.

I've seen this posted here before and in many emails over the years.  While a good read, I believe that the story is fiction.

I remember when this was in the news around here.

ETA: The more I think about it the less I think it was presented in the MSM so may be fiction. Off to the interwebs to investigate

wow holy fucking shit that 11 year old girl has bigger balls than most of us

wonder what the father's reaction was when he got home

Excellent.  

This is hope and change that I can believe in.

yeah..  That seems to be the case.

rr

She blew his nuts off

Good shoot

Ditto. It'd be nice if it was true though.

Good luck!

At least the Snopes link does have examples of a couple of stories where something similar did happen.

Well this story from IN is true and documented.

11-year-old shoots, kills assailant threatening his grandmother

SOUTH BEND — When Tony D. Murry held a box cutter to Sue Gay’s neck Monday night, Gay’s 11-year-old adopted son ran upstairs at the home at 1348 N. Huey St. and grabbed a gun.

“He hit the bottom of the stairs with the .45 and stood ready stance with the gun,” said Gay with feet spread apart and her hands outstretched as if holding a handgun.

The boy shot one round and hit Murry, 27, in the chest, even though the man was shielding himself with Gay.

“I don’t know how he did that. One shot and he got him. He’s my little hero,” Gay said of the grandson she adopted.

The fifth-grader may not have been just a lucky shot. This is a family that knows guns.

“Before his dad died, they’d go target shooting. He knows they’re not toys and not something to mess with,” Gay said.

Ironically, it was guns that Murry may have come for in the first place.

“Murry demanded all the weapons in the house. Gay’s late husband was a weapons collector and Murry knew of the collection,” said St. Joseph County Prosecutor Chris Toth, who said this was a case of justifiable homicide.

Gay said her daughter, who is the boy’s biological mother and currently in prison, was acquainted with Murry. Murry, or “Casper” as Gay knew him, would come by every couple of months to ask about Gay’s daughter. The two never dated, according to Gay.

“I’m not sure where they met. Probably in South Bend when she was off on one of her drug binges,” Gay said.

In an arrest in November, Murry listed “drug dealer” as his occupation, according to booking records at the St. Joseph County Jail.

“I’m upset because she put us in this position. She didn’t send him (Murry) over here, but he was one of her acquaintances. I’m more mad at him though,” Gay said.

Murry had been inside Gay’s house before Monday night and she trusted him. But this visit was different.

“I know he was drunk. At first he wanted me to buy him booze. Then he wanted me to drive him home. I don’t leave my house after dark,” Gay said.

Gay said Murry had been at the house for about a half an hour. She said she asked him to leave at 8 p.m. because she needed to go to bed. She normally leaves for work at 3 a.m.

“He got irritated and asked for a drink of water. When I was in the kitchen he held the razor knife (box cutter) to my son’s throat and said ‘This is not anything personal,’ ” Gay said.

Then Murry rushed up behind Gay and held the box cutter to her throat, she said.

“He told me, ‘Take me to where the guns are.’ He pushed me through the kitchen and into the front room,” Gay said.

Gay stopped at the love seat, put her left foot on it and pushed back on Murry, she said.

“I pushed up so he couldn’t push me forward any more, and I tried to push his hands down off my neck but he had a tight grip. I called for my son to say ‘call 911,’ ” Gay said.

That’s when the boy appeared with the gun. Murry ducked his head behind Gay’s small frame. Some of his torso was left unshielded.

“I’m looking down the barrel of a gun that’s in an 11-year-old’s hands. I knew that if he pulled that trigger I was going to die,” Gay said.

But Gay was not hit. She said they didn’t immediately know Murry had been shot.

“Casper went for the front door, turned the handle and went out of the house. My son ran to me and set the gun down. I hurried up and locked the door and called 911,” Gay said.

South Bend police found Murry, of 2009 W. Linden Ave., outside the home. He died in the emergency room at Memorial Hospital.

“The young man reasonably believed his mother and himself to be in danger of dying. It was clear to us this was a justifiable homicide,” Toth said.

“He did what he had to do. That’s an unfortunate burden for an 11-year-old to have on him,” he said.

Murry had a criminal history. Between 1993 and 2001 he had several misdemeanor arrests.

Murry had a theft conviction from 1994 and a conviction for attempted theft in 1993, which was treated as a misdemeanor.

Murry had been convicted of unarmed robbery for which he received a four-year prison sentence in 1997.

At the time of his death, Murry was charged in two Class D felony auto theft cases pending in St. Joseph Superior Court. He was scheduled to appear in court Feb. 26 for a possible guilty plea.

Meantime, Gay said after 23 years at 1348 N. Huey St., she is putting the house up for sale and moving with her son out into the county, where her fiance lives.

Gay said the boy is doing well since the shooting.

“He’s proud of himself. He feels bad he took a human life. But he didn’t want to lose me. He lost his dad three years ago to a heart attack,” Gay said.
