Wouldn't rush to judgment on that one. The media basically reported the one-sided second hand story of the mother and sister, who weren't there at the time.
There are at least two things which raise doubts about the story reported so far.
First, the attack appears targeted, and the names of the brothers and the supposedly intended target are, at least, fairly similar.
Second, it doesn't look like the kid just wrestled the gun away defending his brother - it looks like his brother got shot, the shooter ran, and the kid chased him out of the house and then got the gun from him and shot him. Not very many unarmed people would chase down a person with a gun who was trying to run away from them.
Having said that, it would seem both brothers are clean - something which is unlikely of anyone who's managed to be in the gang business long enough to have people trying to kill them.
I think a wait and see approach is in order. But if this story checks out, sure, give the kid a medal.
