A Long Island teenager fatally stabbed his mother's former boyfriend when he showed up to their Mastic Beach home and threatened her with a handgun, authorities say.

Suffolk County police say the ex-boyfriend entered the Selden Road home of the teenager's mother and confronted her and her new boyfriend around 4 a.m. Monday.

When the intruder threatened the woman with a handgun, her teenage son intervened and stabbed the man, police said. The intruder was pronounced dead at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital.

The Suffolk County Homicide Squad investigation is ongoing.

It was not immediately clear if the teenager would face charges.

What possible “charges” are anticipated by the author?

Has NY enshrined the obligation to be a victim, in some statute, while I wasn’t looking?

Can’t be a Police Union concern, as they have an adequate amount of paperwork to complete, irrespective of the victim/perp outcome.

The guy had already fired once before he was stabbed by the young teen. The guy with the gun was a felon who had already been in prison for violent crimes. So how is that gun control working out for them in Long Island? It must have been really hard for a convicted felon with a violent past to get ahold of a hand gun. Now that we know that kitchen knives in the hands of teenagers are more effective than a gun in the hand of a felon what is Long Island going to do to keep their citizens safe?

To bear arms:
Actually it means more than that:
1887 Webster`s Dictionary:
“to bear, bear v.t., 1. to support and move; or carry 2. To be equipped, furnished, or marked with; to have as belonging, distinguishing, identifying, or characterizing; AS TO BEAR A SWORD,”

Well done, young man!

And he is barely in his teens - only 13 years old. More than likely, this boy is probably upset by what he had to do. I hope he will be all right.

People shouldn’t have knives. Too many people are getting killed.

Well, it sounds like the mother has a real knack for picking “boyfriends”.

My first thoughts, as well, upon seeing the story.

Maybe the mother will stop with the string of boyfriends, too. Lord knows what this child has seen.

Obviously an AR-15.

A Felon in NYC with a gun . . . Bloomburg's fault.
