A Georgia homeowner shot and killed three teens as they approached his residence with their faces covered, authorities said.

The masked teens -- a 15-year-old and two 16-year-olds -- approached three residents around 4 a.m. Monday at the front yard of a home just outside Conyers and tried to rob them, the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office said.

One of the would-be robbers took out a gun and fired shots at them before one of the residents returned fire, authorities said.

"The victims of the attempted robbery were all uninjured, but the three attempted robbery suspects were all shot during the exchange of gunfire and succumbed to their injuries, one on scene and two at a local hospital after being transported," the sheriff's department said in a news release.

One neighbor heard someone asking for help, he told CNN affiliate WSB.

"I heard a guy yelling for help. 'Help me, help me, I'm dying, I'm dying, help me, help me," Brian Jenkins told the station.

Another neighbor ran out to help after he heard what sounded like five shots from a handgun, he said.

"Then I heard somebody have an assault rifle," Carlos Watson told WSB. "And it was a slew of shots that came out."

Bad decisions - at least they tagged the right party as the "victim".

Assuming that can be proved:



Have him fill out the police report and give him a medal.

Georgia is a Stand Your Ground state. If they fired first or he reasonably can show his life was threatened he is good.

ETA: Very dependent on what he said to arriving officers.

Everyone outside at 4 am? Hmmm. I’d guess something is wrong with the reporting.
