Sigh. Yes.

The house has a security camera that has been reviewed by the police.

What do you mean, mate?

UPDATE: The man arrested for firing a shotgun at a teenager in suburban Detroit Thursday is named Jeffery Craig Zeigler, a courthouse official confirmed to ThinkProgress. Zeigler was arraigned on one charge of assault with intent to murder and a second felony firearm charge Friday afternoon. The judge set his bond at $50,000.

I never said the shooting didn't happen.

There's security camera footage, so we should know all eventually.

I think the shooting happened, but I don't think the conversation happened like he is saying.

Well he was just a kid. How is he likely to have threatened them (on his way to school) enough to cause the guy to shoot at him? Did you read the rest of the article? The other woman who knocked looking for help when she broke down and got shot AND killed? So it's not like it hasn't happened before. I can believe it, esp in today's Trumpmate (Trump Climate).

Woo-hoo! I own a city! I'm rich! Rich, I tells ya! :D

I'm not saying it's deserved or he threatened her but there is probably something being left out.

Chain of events:

House was broken into twice before leaving housewife paranoid and hysterical (having your place broken into will leave most anyone a bit jumpy)

Shooter goes nuts because his ****ing wife never shuts the **** up

He’s asleep and she’s going absolutely bonkers yelling about a break in

He does exactly what he told himself he was going to do if there’s ever another break in he grabs the 12 gauge and springs into action without hesitation

In his crazy panic he misses the kid at near point blank range

Now from the kid’s perspective

He misses the bus because he beat off in the shower

If returns home his mom will beat his ass

He doesn’t have a phone because his mom wants him to focus in school

He tries to walk to school ends up in a white suburb thirsty and tired

Decides to approach a house to ask for help

Walks into the yard and looks and thinks about it for a bit

(He’s on camera and the housewife is watching thinking why the **** is this black kid sizing up our house)

He hears some voices inside and thinks cool they’re awake

Knocks on the door

Gets met with a 12 gauge and a bad shot

Bro, I love you, but **** off with that ****. Maybe he was a dick about it in some way, but unless he was actually trying to break into the house how on earth could any conversation of any kind result in gunshots unless the person with the gun was blowing something WWWWAAAAYYYY out of proportion? We're not talking about a fight. We're talking about a shotgun blast. There has to be some serious **** to justify busting caps. And since cops have apparently reviewed the security cam footage enough to relay it to the family I image the kid probably didn't pull out a 9mm.
