Did this really happen?

Butte Montana

shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien home invaders

Home invasion gone wrong for criminals.

Two illegal aliens, (AKA undocumented guest workers) Ralphel Resindez 23
and Enrico Garza 26, probably believed they would easily overpower a home
alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two
story home.

It seems the two crooks never learned two things; they were in Montana and

Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia
was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of
the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge
Mossberg 500 shotgun.

Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first
to catch a near point blank blast of buck shot from the 11 year old's knee
crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When
Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder
and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical
help could arrive.

It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber
handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. The victim, 50 year
old David Burien, was not so lucky as he died from stab wounds to the
chest.
The good part - they lived long enough to know they were sent to the happy
taco stand in the sky by an eleven year old GIRL ! ! !
 
Somebody posted that on another board and apparently it's a fabricated story. Which I believe because I did a Google search and nothing came up. It supposedly just happened last November, there would have been plenty written up on it, not to mention it would have been all over the news, or if not the news, at least in the NRA magazine, and other gun/hunting type magazines. Great story though, I'd love to hear of some young girl blowing away the bad guys for once! hump
 
Wouldn't mind if it did happen but sounds like a fabrication to me...a clays champion and a Mossy 500 don't really "mix" as does breaking birds and having loads of buckshot around? Not saying it couldn't have been real though...after all, it was on the internet right? ;)

I'll try peeking in my LexisNexis subscription when time allows to see if I can find a story on it.
 
The only thing that doesn't seem fabricated is the name "Harrington"... pretty common name in Butte.
 
Isn't that what I said? I said if it were a true story it would have been in some of the gun magazines, and it wasn't. I guess I'm not sure what your point was?
I think he was trying to back you up on your point...that it wasn't in any of the gun magazines that he reads...try not to be so sensitive, dude.
 
No, I'm saying that the gun/hunting magazines that I read don't publish stories about shootings, even if they are in self defence.

OK, and I think you're right, although the NRA magazine does have those little stories of self defense right in the front. But the original point I was making is that if the story was true, somebody, somewhere, would have heard about it or read about it, whether it was in a newspaper, a magazine, or the news on tv. And it supposedly only happened 6 months ago. I just don't think it really happened.
 
Guppie :D

Also for Snopes (But true & equally entertaining IMHO) Going back almost twenty years to 1988, we do find a news story about an 11-year-old shooting and killing two home intruders, but again the finer details don't quite match the example cited above:

Switzer, S.C. — An 11-year-old boy who had been left alone after school shot and killed two men as they tried to steal a videocassette recorder from his family's home, police said.
William Todd Knight, the son of Billy and Ann Knight, "acted very wisely," said Spartanburg County Coroner Jim Burnett. "His life was in danger, he looked for an escape and could not find one ... he was a very brave young man."

Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department Capt. John Blackwood said the boy was watching cartoons in his parents' bedroom Monday afternoon when he heard noises at the front door of the family's brick, rancy-style home.
Tood told officers he was scared, so he went to his room for the .22-caliber rifle his father had given him for Christmas and loaded four rounds.
He then went to the front door and saw a man he described as "rough" pounding on the door. The man finally left in a white Datsun.

Todd said he resumed watching cartoons and about 10 minutes later heard banging, this time at a dining room window.
He saw two men climbing through the dining room window. The boy said he went into the bathroom to climb out the window, but saw the white Datsun was parked in the back yard.
Todd told police he went back to the hallway, peeked around the corner into the den and was spotted by one of the intruders as they were taking the VCR.

Todd then fired three rounds at the men, who dropped the VCR and fled.
When police arrived, one of the dead men was found face down next to a woodpile in the back yard, approximately 50 to 75 feet from the house, while the second man was in the driver's seat of the white two-door Datsun.
