Great story. The bad part is, next month I'll be posting a story about how the perp is suing the kid and his family for a bajillion dollars, which he will probably get.

He would not be able to sue here in Georgia, where we recently passed a "castle doctrine" bill. Oh he could sue, but he would lose.

I got all excited but then found out the perp lived. What a bummer.

The intruder didn't leave until four shots later. Target practice ASAP.

"Within seconds, Granger ran into his parents' bedroom, found the safety box, unlocked it and loaded two guns for him and his mother. He ran back to the living room as the intruder threw a bicycle at the door and started kicking it in."
For heaven's sakes! It's a wonder that the intruder didn't hurt somebody in the meantime!

his mom says her family would have died if the man police later identified as Keil Jumper had laid hands on them.No thanks to her hiding under the bed and leaving her 15 year old to defend her and the family. The kid is a true hero, but the mother should be ashamed of herself.

Good story with a semi-happy ending. Better ending would have been an obit. in the paper for the villain. But a couple of bullets in him are better than none at all.

Nice story, but who goes to visit a friend at a hospital at 3:30 in the morning?

Granger does not face charges. The second oldest child in the family, he often goes to the range at Markham Park to practice shoot with his father. He was never a victim of crime before, but calmly went through all the gun safety steps his father taught him, even after one gun jammed after the first shot Saturday.
Victim? I don't think so.

So nice to read a good story with a happy ending.

I constantly tell my wife. "Never fire a warning shot. When it comes time to pull the trigger, all warnings are over."

I hope not. After reading the full story, I don't think the guy has much cause to sue the kid or his family. He has a long criminal history, and apparently attacked a police officer the day before he tried this home invasion. If he was stupid enough to sue, I think the case would be tossed pretty quickly.

Granger does not face charges. The Sun-Sentinal reporter sounds so disappointed.

He even locked up the guns after Jumper left, before he checked on his mother. "My husband tried to get everyone to learn the safety of a gun," Chandler said. "It paid off."I have a problem with this...: ) <<< me
