An 11-year-old Girl With a Shotgun Defends Herself Against Two Illegal Alien Home Invaders-Fiction!

Summary of the eRumor:
Two illegal aliens broke into a home in Butte, Montana. An 11-year-old girl was home alone. She had been a clay shooting champion and ran and got her father's shotgun. She ended up shooting both intruders. The email asks if you ever wonder why good stuff never makes the news?
The Truth:
According to the Butte-Silver Bow Sheriff's department in Montana, this never took place.

We have not found any other evidence of its truth.

doesn't seem to be real

while that specific incident may not be real....there are PLENTY of instances where a child has defended themselves/ their family with their parents firearms.

As M-Cameron said there are several stories similar to this to chose from. gunssavelives.net I think is the name of one site.

I've been a Snopes fan for years ~ they are usually spot-on. My bet, their take is correct; it's a 'story' and nothing more.

Doesn't mean it isn't a 'good' story or have real elements woven in.

It sounds familiar, based off a story a few years ago that made national news, but it's probably been 4-6 years ago,

Snope it?

In every American Rifleman magazine [not clip!] you can find a section called ''The Armed Citizen'', this month it's on page 10. These stories of everyday armed heros are my favorite feature along with ''I Have This Old Gun''....
