Deputies say when they arrived, they met with a man who said he confronted the teens, ages 13 and 16, who tried to steal from his car. The victim said the suspects made "threatening movements toward him" and so he fired several shots.
The two teens were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators will determine whether criminal charges are appropriate.

My first thought was Florida and it was.
In my area in S. Florida the car break ins by teens (and others) has gotten ridiculous in the last year or so.
