The only insight on the shooter the article provides is:
“The teen should have had the basic intelligence not to point a gun at another human being and pull the trigger.”

Unless grabbing the guy’s gun and shooting him was what the kid intended to do anyway.
Right. We don’t know from the story.
Was it only the victim, the youngster and the father there at the time? If the kid shot the guy and it was only those three, what would the father do?
Just as the Russians did not make Hillary a terrible candidate, showing a kid a gun did not make him point it at someone and pull the trigger. Hell of a thing but the kid is responsible.
