"He called me and told me about it," Ken Patmon, the father and officer said. “Not long after that, two unknown suspects entered our home without permission."
Bad call on the part of the thugs.
The young man opened fire, killing one of the intruders while the other one ran for his life.
Once the two forced their way into the home they came face to face with the young man who is headed to the Air Force Academy next year. He was armed with one his father’s guns.
Paton explained to KRTK-TV "my son, trying to defend his home and himself, he discharged my firearm, striking one of the suspects."
