    Good shooting, kid!

    MANCHESTER, Ky. (WKYT/Gray News) – A child shot and killed two men
    during a home invasion in Kentucky, officials said.

    According to Kentucky State Police, troopers were dispatched to the home
    in Manchester around 4:30 a.m. Saturday for reports of a shooting.

    When troopers arrived, they found two men with gunshot wounds.

    Jeffrey Allen, 51, was pronounced dead at the scene. Roger Smith, 44,
    was transported to an area hospital but later died.

    Police said that the two men had broken into the home with the intention
    of stealing firearms from a safe.

    During the break-in, a juvenile living in the home saw the men holding firearms. Acting in self-defense, police said, the child retrieved a
    handgun and shot both men before escaping through a bedroom window.

    Police did not give the exact age of the child who shot the alleged
    intruders.

    Police said the investigation is ongoing.
