Doesn’t really matter - he was running away when the guy fired that shot. Not a viable threat at that point.
He reacted to his wifes' reaction to this kid without stopping to learn the facts.
But who stops to think when you're wife is screaming about a stranger at the door?
He overreacted because his wife overreacted.
However, we'll never know this kids' true motive for knocking at this door asking for directions to the school he attends everyday.
Yep. If the kid’s story is the truth, this guy disgusts me.
Sounds like he got what he deserved.
From the article:
"The teen was uninjured in the attack"
Wait. This guy fires a shot in the general direction of someone running away from his porch after his wife said someone was trying to break into their house?
Does not kill fleeing person. Does not even injure fleeing person. Presumably fired the shot over his head to scare fleeing person.
Four to ten years in prison for that? That's nuts.
When I first saw this article, I thought he had killed someone. I didn't realize he hadn't injured him at all and had only scared him, which I think was the entire point.
This is bullsh*t. 30 days in Jail at the most.
