Intruders assault 14-year-old

A 14-year-old boy told police he was assaulted by two intruders who broke into his east-side home Wednesday. The boy, who was home sick from school, tried to hide from the intruders as they broke through the home’s back door, but he was spotted. One of the intruders, who were described as young as 17, pointed a gun at him while the other struck him in the face. They left with a Playstation 3, a stack of video games and a cell phone.
