This is AP, so I have heavily exerpted it. There does not appear to be any connection between the student and the criminals, nor did the police find any evidence of criminal activity at the home.

“fatally shot both intruders.”
Finally, somebody who knows how to defend themselves!
Thanks for saving the best for last.

The student armed himself with a handgun and shot them both, then called police.
Perfectly legal in AZ. Open carry is also legal! (most places)

I guess I can assume the burglars weren’t white guys. Otherwise the AP would have stated that in the first paragraph.

Gun policy in Arizona was once expressed by a new District Attorney, who had been elected during a public debate about the use of lethal force against burglars and robbers.
At his first press conference they asked him straight out, “What do you do if somebody breaks into your home?”
“You shoot the S.O.B.”, he replied, in an un-abbreviated manner. Which was pretty much public policy until he left office.

I remember a FReeper tagline; “I carry a gun because I can’t carry a cop”.
RIP, scumbags.

The student armed himself with a handgun and shot them both, then called police.Love to know if the kid is in line for a military commission via ROTC or if he's already a combat veteran and attending school on the GI Bill. Either way, bad guys are running new risks in targeting college students .... off campus.
I was sorta hoping when I read this that the UA the article referred to was my old alma mater, The University of Alabama. This article, from my years at 'BAMA in the late 1970s would have been normal and unsurprising as a news story in Tuscaloosa.
