Does that 6-year-old have a gun he's pointing and trying to shoot at me? Because that's what those burglars did.

One of them did anyway. Don't know which one. (or if it even happened really)  

Anyone breaking into a home is subjecting themselves to the possibility of being killed by the home owner and I don't fault the guy if it truly happened that way, but I still find it very disheartening how quick folks are to celebrate the death of a kid.

Edit for better info:
This article is much more clear about what happened and it also removes the doubt I expressed about both intruders having weapons and the rightful use of force by the home owner.

Quote:The homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous for his safety, said he came home from the barber shop around 7 p.m. to find his door pried open and his caged dog barking wildly. He says he then saw two men in his house, and when they spotted him they drew their weapons.
According to Local Memphis, one of the burglar's guns jammed, and the other did manage to fire. The two then ran to the kitchen.
"I'm assuming they were trying to go out of my back door," the homeowner said, "so as they go through there I jumped in the closet and get my AK-47." He then found them on his patio, aimed his rifle and opened fire.
The two men, identified by authorities as 28-year-old Azell Witherspoon and 17-year-old Demond Robinson, were dead by the time police arrived.
The homeowner was brought in for questioning but released after he reportedly offered footage from his home surveillance system to back up his self-defense story. The District Attorney General's office determined that no charges will be filed at this time.
