Well, looks like this 11 year old is pretty responsible and self-sufficient and did the right thing.
My parents had a loaded pistol in my dad's dresser drawer when we were young and we never played with it and we were left home alone. I can't recall the age, maybe around 11 years old.
Out in the country I don't this would be uncommon for guns to be in the home with kids this age.
And 3rd attempt, not enough of the story is known, but why weren't police or the kids parents called yet? Not enough information is known to say anything, guess we'll have to see how it plays out.

Fox2Now reported that police want to know why the children were home alone and why the 11-year-old had access to a gun. Police believe the mother bought the gun after prior break-in attempts.
St. Louis boy, 11, left alone with sister shoots and kills persistent teen intruder
10:46 PM ET, Thu September 3, 2015
An 11-year-old left at home to defend himself and his 4-year-old sister staved off several home invasion attempts before finally shooting and killing a 16-year-old intruder, police say.
The boy, whose name has not been released, had been shot in the head while breaking into the home, according to police. He was shot by the 11-year-old boy who lived inside, and who -- along with his 4-year-old sister -- had been left there alone. Sgt. Brian Schellman said it was third time that the 16-year-old had attempted to break into that house that day. Neither sibling was hurt in the incident.
