Glad to hear they have been identified, arrest should come soon. My windows and doors are locked 24/7 home or away. Not saying they can't be broken, just making it harder for the intruder. Dogs are home while away, plenty of guns handy when home.

@RJA - Hopefully your trained on how to use a weapon like that. I watched this even happen from my porch. These were children committing these crimes! Are you really sure your able to shoot a child? Not to mention, this is a small neighbor hood with home close together, hopefully your bullet doesn't hit anyone else. If your weapon is locked up- its useless. if it's not loaded with a round in the chamber - its useless, when it comes to protecting your home and family from a LIFE THREAT. These are just troubled teens with no guidance from their parents.
