Virginia mother shoots armed man, 25, who flew 8,500 miles from New Zealand and tried to break into her home because her '14-year-old daughter stopped speaking to him online'

l1az29V

A man from New Zealand was shot after he travelled to the home of a 14-year-old girl in Virginia he was reportedly communicating with online.

Troy George Skinner, 25, was shot on Friday after he allegedly smashed a glass door and tried to enter the home in Goochland, Virginia.

He is now fighting for his life after being shot in the neck by the girl's mother. The FBI are investigating the shooting.

The Goochland County sheriff said Skinner bought a knife and duct tape after arriving in the U.S.

The sheriff also said the girl's mother saw a man trying to enter her home and began banging on the door with a brick.

The mom who was at home with her two daughters at the time warned him several times that she had a gun.

Skinner then threw the brick through the glass door and the teenage girl's mother fired twice, hitting Skinner once in the neck.

'All I can say is the manner in which he attempted to enter that home in the face of a firearm pointed at him and the implements we recovered from him - the only inference is that he had very bad intent,' Agnew said.

'He was not invited here, he was not expected here, he had been told in the past that the daughter no longer wished to communicate with him.'

Agnew said Skinner will be charged with breaking and entering with a deadly weapon with the intent to commit a serious crime as he came carrying a knife, duct tape and pepper spray.

'This was not random, not spontaneous, this was something very planned,' Agnew said.

Skinner flew to Virginia to meet the woman's teenage daughter after the two chatted online using Discord, a chatting service popular among gamers.

After three or four months of chatting, the girl tried to end their communication according to Fox8.

Skinner then flew from New Zealand to Australia, Australia to Los Angeles, and Los Angeles to Washington D.C. From Washington, he took a Greyhound bus to Richmond.

I don't know why any adult male would want a 14 year old. They aren't properly developed in neither body and mind. It's like trying to have a relationship with Chatbot.

I guess some people can't handle rejection, even if that rejection is coming from a 14 year old girl.

This story makes me want to buy a firearm.

Hopefully it will teach her the pitfalls of chatting strangers online, especially around giving out personal info. There's no reason this asshole should have had her home address. Just glad it didn't turn out worse for the family.

We dont know what the kid had talked about with him.
She could have said that she had been abused for what we know.
Im not defending him, just saying that we only know one of multiple sides of the dice.

International crime considering the details. He's gonna rot, either in the grave or federal prison. And as a foreign national, there's not a damn thing he'll be able to do about it.

Also he looks like what cave men tried to paint on walls, I've seen composites using sculpting clay and that's not far off from some of our ancestors during the last great ice age.

Discord is a great site for what it was intended for. That being said, the regulation of their servers is horrible, for better or worse. If nothing else, they need a more accessible way of reporting content to admins than just taking a screenshot and emailing it. This is like the second major incident I've heard about though, so maybe the admins will do something.

A lot of people don't like firearms, so they literally expect that woman to let her daughter get kidnapped, raped, and murdered.

Yeah because psychos like this can actually be reasoned with (eye roll). If a similar situation ever happens to someone in YOUR family, try solving it with a gentle, sensitive dialogue and a group hug and let us know how that works out.
