It's a shame the boy had to do that. I'm glad he did it instead of being a victim, but I'm sure it will affect him for some time. You can say he may have handled it wrong but at his age and fighting off 2 grown men that also had guns he did remarkable to win the fight and to not hurt any bystanders. I would hope if I had to defend my life or my family that it turned out that way.
 
I am reminded of the man in Detroit who shot and was given 17 years for a similar "through the door" shooting. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/03/wafer-sentencing-renisha-mcbride/15012615/

This just reiterates how important it is to be right. If you shoot you better be right. A lot of people post about how if X, Y, or Z triggers are met you can shoot... But really it matters if you're right. If they were reaching for waistband and you shoot and they had a gun you're golden, but if it's a phone you're going to jail. Be sure.
