A 14-year-old boy from Kentucky shot and killed two men who entered his home with the intent to steal his firearms.
The teen, who has not been named because he is a minor, has already been released after it was confirmed that he acted in self-defense.
The Kentucky State Police said in a press release:
On Saturday, February 15, 2025, at approximately 4:24 AM, Clay County 911 contacted Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 11 London to report a shooting incident within the city limits of Manchester. Manchester Police Department responded to the scene and found two individuals who had been shot.
They requested KSP’s assistance in investigating the matter.
Upon arrival, troopers determined that the two men involved had forcibly entered a residence with the intention of stealing firearms from a safe.
During the break-in, a juvenile resident of the home discovered the intruders and saw them holding firearms.
The juvenile, acting in self-defense, retrieved a handgun and shot both men before escaping through a bedroom window.
The two men have since been identified as 44-year-old Roger D. Smith and 51-year-old Jeffrey M. Allen.
Smith was taken to hospital but succumbed to his injuries, while Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Manchester Police Chief Jeff Couch told NBC News that the boy was on his own at the time of the incident.
It also remains unclear how he obtained the handgun, which Couch confirmed as belonging to his father.
The boy is not currently in custody, and no charges have been filed against him.
The police investigation remains ongoing.
