A 5-year-old boy trying to save his mother during a robbery offered the only thing he had: $1.
Three armed, masked men burst into the living room of their Colorado Springs home demanding money from his mother, Courtney Beaudette, according to court records. When she said she didn't have any, the men told her to strip.
She took off her shirt but refused to go further, the documents said.
Amid the chaos, Beaudette's son ran to his room to retrieve the only money he had, a single dollar bill, the report said. Then the gun went off.

Michael Ryan Brown, 20; Matthew Robert Moore Jr., 19; and Dylan Michael Peters, 18, all Colorado Springs residents, have been arrested related to her death.
Moore is accused of pulling the trigger

The trio has an extensive list of felony and misdemeanor offenses

This sounds like a job for Joe Kenda.
This is horrible.
Telling argument for capital punishment.

Death penalty for all of them.
Hang the bastards.
Yup. I don’t care what race murderers are. Death penalty works for all of them.
Then the gun went off? Just by itself? I hope the guy holding it wasn’t startled when it happened.
polyamorous relationship...
Had to look it up.
It seems like something that will usually end badly.
No, he won't. He'll inherit a multi-billion dollar corporation and don an incognito outfit that resembles his worst fears...and then proceed to whip criminal ass
God bless his wonderful little heart.
Just not fair.
Yeah, I know. Where I’m at, two thugs kidnapped, sodomized, raped and murdered a girl at random in the late 1980’s. They only bought it this year and last year I believe.
“Well, well, well.”
All are pillars of the Community. They should be in the running for The Man of The Year Award.
it does sound like the creation myth of a hero...
may god watch over this little boy and give him the strength to make his mom proud when he grows up.
It has my vote.
One thing we can do in the face of the seeming futility is pray. I just did for the little one, that he would not be destroyed by this event.
