ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis County police say an 11-year-old boy fatally shot a 16-year-old intruder during a home invasion, but some neighbors say they don't believe that account. When officers responded to a report of a shooting yesterday, they found the 16-year-old dead inside the home. Police say they believe he was shot after a break-in. But some neighbors told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they saw the shooting and there was no break-in. Police are asking anyone with information to come forward. The 11-year-old and his 4-year-old sister were not hurt. The children's mother wasn't home at the time but is cooperating with an investigation.
