The story sounds a little incongruous, but still interesting.

Dec 28, 2009 5:28 am US/Central Police Investigate Shootings In Wauconda
Adult And Teen Stormed Couple's Home; Fight, Shooting Ensued

WAUCONDA, Ill. (CBS) ? Imagine you're home at night and someone starts
banging on your door.

When you open the door to see who it is they push their way inside.

As CBS 2's Mike Puccnielli explains, that is what police say happened
Saturday to a Wauconda couple, only they fought back.

Loved ones of residents who police say were attacked in their Wauconda
home stopped by the scene of the crime about 24 hours later.

They weren't talking, but police were about what they say is the first
shooting to happen in the Lake County town in 20 years.

At about 6 p.m. Saturday, police say, a father and his 15-year-old son
forced their way into a home on Indian Ridge Trail because, police say,
they believed the boy's 11-year-old brother was being held against his
will inside.

When the two got in, a struggle ensued and punches were thrown.

At one point during the struggle, police said, the homeowner pulled a
handgun and shot the man and his son. Police were called. Officers found
the two intruders outside bleeding.

"The homeowners were absolutely just frightened to death. … They had no
idea who these people were," Wauconda Deputy Police Chief Patrick Yost
said.

Police are still trying to figure out why the father and son team targeted
the house.

They say it's possible that the two simply went to the wrong house. They
also say that the 11-year-old boy was apparently in no danger. Police say
they found him unharmed at a friend's house.

Neighbors are concerned.

"It's extremely shocking," neighbor David Brown said Saturday night. "I've
lived here for 20 years, and it's the first time that anything's ever
happened here like this."

The man and woman who live in the home were both treated and released from
the hospital.

The 15-year-old was released after he was treated for a gunshot wound to
his leg. It's not clear where the 49-year-old was shot. At last check, he
was in surgery at Lutheran General.

Charges in the case could be announced later Monday.



Ya, it appears to be some pretty weird sh)t.

Two nitwits go out to pick up an 11 year old relative, but get the address
wrong.

Homeowners says "there ain't no kid here".

Nitwits decide that the homeowner is some kind of perv and that he's lying
to them. So they start pushing him around.

Homeowner thinks that the nitwits are a couple of crazy psychos and pops em
both with a "small caliber handgun"

Bad brains, it's worse than no brains at all.
