CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Police in Charlotte, North Carolina, said the second man involved in a home break-in that turned deadly near the Charlotte/Mint Hill border has been arrested. Another suspected intruder was killed when a 14-year-old inside the house shot and killed him Tuesday night, police said.
The two intruders, who police identified as 18-year-old Isai Delcid and his 22-year-old brother Carlos Delcid, attempted to break into the home on Rolling Fields Lane just after 5 p.m., according to investigators. Isai was shot and died at the scene while police said Carlos fled.
Officers arrested Carlos late Tuesday night and charged him with first-degree burglary.
Police said a grandmother was at the home with her grandson at the time. According to officers, the grandson shot and killed Isai.
The grandfather, George Wyant, said his 14-year-old grandson shot the intruder.
"Its not something you can be proud of. But, Im happy the way it turned out. Because my wife is getting over an illness," Wyant said.
Wyant said he heard about the break-in and shooting from a neighbor, and many neighbors are shocked.
Wyant told WSOC-TV that the suspects parked their car in the driveway, walked up the steps to his back porch and tried to get into his house through a back window. That's when he said his grandson came to the window and told them to stop.
The call came in at 5:14 p.m. The intruder was pronounced dead at the scene.

You have to wonder at people who would steal pain medicine from a person in pain.

If you mentioned that to them, they would probably just stare blankly at you.

When I was 10 I knew how to shoot..and the proper handling of guns.
Seems like the grandson knew this too.
Nobody had any problem with me having my own gun when I was 10. Had a single shot bolt action .22 rifle. Still have that gun. Shot a butt load of squirrels, rabbits, etc.. with it too, between 10 and 15 yrs of age.
