Police said the pair of trespassing male teens who broke into a Northglenn, Colorado, back yard and died after a shootout with the homeowner Sunday were armed with a semi-automatic handgun and a machete, KUSA-TV reported.
An airsoft gun that reportedly had been stolen from a nearby home was found with the teens but "was not a factor in the shooting," police added to the station.
What are the details? Officers responded around 2 p.m. to a home in the11600 block of Pearl Street on a report of trespassing and menacing, KUSA said.
Police said Wednesday two juveniles broke a fence to gain entry into the back yard and garage-like structure attached to the home, the station added.
One juvenile had a semi-automatic handgun, and the other had a machete, police told KUSA, adding that both weapons were recovered from the scene.
One of the juveniles and the homeowner exchanged gunfire, police told the station, adding that it's unclear who fired first or how many shots were fired.

“Mom of one teen says shooting them was ‘not the right way to handle it.’”
But it worked.
They f**ked around and found out. Mom you failed your son.
I disagree with the “mom”.
Despite all evidence to the contrary.
I agree with the mom. Getting someone shot to learn a lesson is not the right way to teach these kids the lesson they needed. She should have handled it long before it came to fighting with weapons. Some lessons come easy and some come hard.
Mom was probably a drunk, a drug addict, and swapping boyfriends with her dysfunctional inner-circle to even bother with her children.
Nice job “mom”.
Wonder how this “mom” would have dealt with someone else’s teen breaking in to HER house armed and ready to shoot someone? Stupid is as stupid does.
“garage-like structure”
I’ll need a pic of that....
Women really are the enemy of freedom.
Another good ‘ol Mom. No doubt the kids were just saving up to get their stash of fentanyl. That “not the right way part” maybe she means the kids. they were using bad form in their caper.
“He was a Good Boy, a very Good Boy...”
Yes, it was.
Besides, the kids had a gun and didn’t have any problem firing it. So now it’s a bad 5ing when someone shoots back?
Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.
Like none of us ever fooled around in the neighbor's backyard
armed with a a semi-automatic handgun and a machete?
It's all part of 'growing up', right?

Besides, in the dark, how is someone supposed to know the ages of the perps?
And what difference does that make anyways when they break into someone’s house armed and ready and willing to use force, or else they wouldn’t be armed?
Fambly demands answers...
“Mom of one teen says shooting them was ‘not the right way to handle it.’”
What’s the problem. Homeowner is fine, kids were ‘neutralized’, and taught a major lesson.
Mom never let us play with more than just our shotguns and Buck knives
Funny how if you pull a dog’s tail it will bite you.
Or if you knock down a hornets’ nest they will sting you.
Or if you beat a horse it will kick you.
So you try shooting at a human what do you expect?
This could have all been prevented by NOT breaking into a backyard that is not yours, NOT carrying a machete and NOT carrying a hand gun and NOT confronting a man in his own back yard who is carrying a shot gun.
More and more in our local paper’s police blotter I see domestic violence between parents and young adult children, young adult children calling the cops on their drugged up parents, druggies walking down the middle of the roads at odd hours and so on. It is getting worse it seems.
Teach your children well but right.
