15-year-old Texas City girl...

...uses her father’s gun to scare off burglars


the article

According to the story, the girl was home alone at about 1 p.m. when she saw two men breaking into her home. She called her family and the police from the bathroom before finding her father’s gun and confronting one of the men who was attempting to steal a pickup truck from the garage. Another man was inside the house. They both ran way.


I say bravo to her.
