Re: Shot in home.

Add another notch for the good guys!

What I like about this article (aside from the outcome), is the wording. Quotes from the story

"A teenager fought back against a person who broke into his northwest Houston home"

"He saw the guy's in there with a gun and he did what he had to do."

"I can't blame him," she said. "I'd shoot him if he was in my house."

"The intruder died at the scene" -> Notice how they used "intruder" instead of "victim"

The choice of wording works to support the actions of the individual. To me, the chosen words can really make a powerful impact to how people perceive the story
