The Kentucky State Police are still investigating after a juvenile shot and killed two armed intruders over the weekend but say it appears to be a case of self-defense.
Kentucky State Police troopers reported that the shooting took place on Saturday.
Troopers responding to a rural area arrived at the scene and determined that the two men, identified as 44-year-old Roger D. Smith and 51-year-old Jeffrey M. Allen forcibly entered the home with the plan to steal firearms from a safe.
But during the break-in, a juvenile living at the home discovered the men holding firearms.
The juvenile quickly retrieved a handgun and opened fire on both men before escaping through a bedroom window.
Smith died at a hospital after being transported and Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kentucky State Police are continuing their investigation.
