A teenager in Oklahoma was alerted by the family dog of an intruder in their front yard.
After stepping outside to see what the dog was barking about, JC Lara, 15, discovered a large python slithering in the grass.
The teen woke his father, who first grabbed a shovel, but the son said a gun was a better weapon for the massive snake, which measured approximately 14 feet long, according to KFOR.
The father shot the python three times.
After killing the python, the father and son buried it. They said with so many young children in the neighborhood, they felt that killing the snake was the best choice.
