ATLANTA - Two Atlanta teenagers charged with killing a 58-year-old man during an apparent home robbery are expected to make their first appearance in court Tuesday. <br> <br> At about daybreak yesterday, police arrested 16-year-old Kindell Butler and a 14-year-old - whose name is being withheld because of his age - and charged them with murder and armed robbery. <br> <br> Atlanta Police spokesman Sergeant John Quigley said a witness recognized the pair as they fled the home of John Denson. Police say the two teens were wearing ski masks when they shot Denson multiple times in the chest at 1:45 a-m during a robbery. Denson died at the scene. His common-law wife was not wounded. <br> <br> As the suspects fled, they shot at a security guard making his rounds at an apartment complex across the street. Police say the guard was not hit. The suspects dropped cash in the driveway as they ran away on foot. <br> <br> Investigators have not determined how the men got into the house.
