A keep out sign stands at the property of Byron David Smith


A keep out sign stands at the property of Byron David Smith, in Little Falls, Minn., Monday, Nov. 26, 2012. Smith, a 64-year-old Minnesota homeowner who shot two teenagers in the midst of an apparent Thanksgiving Day break-in told authorities he feared they had a weapon, but acknowledged firing "more shots than I needed to" and appeared to take pride in "a good clean finishing shot" for one teen, according to investigators. He was charged Monday with two counts of second-degree murder. (AP Photo/The Star Tribune, Elizabeth Flores)
