Kid must have been pretty hammied if you walk through somebody's house and not realize it isn't yours. Probably black out drunk.

In my house after breaking in = you are now an identified target and I know what is beyond said target. It's my house so I already know what's beyond.

In house illegally = already identified threat.

It's the same as shooting through the window or door as the threat is trying to break in. You've identified it as a threat, you don't have to ask it who or what it's intention is.

But what if I snuck into the hospital and abducted all the newborns from the maternity ward, then duct taped them to my torso, limbs, and one on my head like a hat... and duct taped their mouths so they couldn't be crying audibly too... THEN I put on a big trench coat, and broke into your house in the dark.

What if you shot at me and ended up killing several innocent newborns?:ninja:

another case of how a firearm at home provides 'protection'

Someone walked into my house, was a town home that looked exactly the same. Walked in the front door, I didn't like the guy but didn't kill him either.

This shit happens all the time, you shouldn't kill the person. I know you people think you are all high and mighty, protected by the law. But laws are wrong and you are idiots.

Our gene pool is weaker, we have a dead athlete and scared psycho still alive.

I can't count how many times people in college ended up in the wrong dorm room or whatever after a night of drinking like retards. Also plenty of stories of people pissing in the wrong room (i.e. wrong turn and end up peeing in someone else's room). The video shows houses that look somewhat similar as well.

It's obviously very possible for some wasted 16 year old to have made the mistake of trying to get into the wrong window.

In case this hasn't been covered already, your alcohol consumption does NOT excuse your behavior. I never understand why people think drunks get a pass. Dude broke in, intentional or not, drunk or not.
Personal responsibility.

Sad story all around. Young = stupid, but most are lucky enough to survive that phase.

In case this hasn't been covered already, I did not say alcohol consumption excused any behavior. I never understand why people assume other people think drunks get a pass.

What I stated was that it was a mistake, resulting from his own decisions, rather than some attempt burglary.

he didn't walk into the front door.

HE climbed into the back yard. ripped off the screen, opened the window and climbed in. This during the middle of the night.

You forgot that he also ignored the alarm going of and the even harder to ignore warning shot.

how the fuck can you go to THE WRONG HOUSE. this isn't like you grabbed the wrong sweatshirt from a closet, this is THE WRONG FUCKING HOUSE. houses do not all look the same, infact they all look different. every yard is different. one house is on the corner, another house is 3 from the corner. look at the houses in the pictures in the story, they don't look the same at all and are different layouts. an alarm went off when trying to enter the house...

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT HOUSE YOU LIVE IN?

definitely think there is more to this story. and how the hell does the father know what the son was thinking? this story is total bullshit.

I'm confused by the 911 call. Whose the guy whose talking to the 911 operator? Is that her husband? If so, is he on the phone with the woman?

Imagine if he had gone to the right house and his parents thought it was an intruder getting in the window. They could have also shot him if it was dark and no visibility.

Actually, these new neighborhoods with cookie-cutter houses often do, and that seemed to be the case here.

That said it was obviously a case of mistaken property. The police have said as much, it has since been revealed that the staircase is exactly the same, the carpet is exactly the same, they have the same fence, the same backyard, are 2 doors away from eachother, have the same model house, etc. and he has been living there less than a year.
