Don't fixate on the youth suspect part of the title. The article doesn't state their ages. Just a good show of a armed citizen protecting his family and property. Good job.

A Chandler homeowner, armed with a gun, took one of two juveniles into custody after they broke into his home.
The homeowner's 13-year-old son was the only person at the house, in the 800 block of West Elgin Street, when two juveniles knocked on his front door on Monday.
The boy did not open the front door. The juveniles forced their way through the back door, police said. The boy ran to a neighbor's home, and his neighbors called police.
The boy's father got home before authorities arrived, grabbed his gun and took one of the juveniles into custody.
Police apprehended the second juvenile when he jumped from the second story and attempted to flee from the home.
Both juveniles, who are Chandler residents, were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary, police said.
Their names and pictures are being withheld by police.

I say hats off to the home owner who used his skills and the "right" our men and women of the armed services have fought bravely to preserve throughout history, our right to bare arms! The police are not every where and its up to us not to just be fence sitters and allow cfriminals, regardless of there age to take what they want when thay want it. All it takes for evil to win is to have good men do nothing. My hats off to you sir for a job well done. I hope they prosecute them as adults.
