In reply to the discussion: 15 year old knocks at wrong house. Shot and killed by homeowner [View all]Hoppy
(3,595 posts)5. Homeowner, hears banging on door. We don't know what the kids were saying while banging on door.
Remember, they were drinking.
He then calls cops to report an attempted break-in.
Then he hears the glass on his front door break.
Do you think he has a right to be a little scared?

Right to be scared, sure. Right to fire blindly like an asshole, no fucking way.
