Sounds like he saved that lady's life.

19 and breaking into an apartment and shooting an old lady. Smh

kid needs to be locked up

And you people shit on Fortnite

Kudos to that kid.

While thats nice and all, it doesnt make up for the 1500 kids shot and killed by guns every year, nor does it change the fact that gun ownership has no relationship to whether you get robbed, the successfulness of the robbery or whether youll be injured in said robbery.

Imagine starting this argument with no one but yourself.

Officers responding to a report of a shooting at the apartment shortly before 1 a.m. found one of the residents, a 73-year-old woman, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, police said.

A second person suffering from an apparent gunshot wound was found at an intersection half a block from the apartment, police said. He was identified by police as Khalil Herring, 19, of Goldsboro.

Both shooting victims were brought to a local hospital, where Herring died from his injuries, according to police. The 73-year-old victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and is in stable condition, police said.

Preliminary evidence suggests that Herring was allegedly one of two masked suspects who "forced their way" into the apartment, "demanded money" and shot the elderly resident, the Goldsboro Police Department said.

The 12-year-old, described by police as an occupant of the residence, then allegedly shot at the suspects in self-defense, "causing them to flee the area," the department said.

Charges against the juvenile shooter are not anticipated, the department said.

I just hope this poor kid isn't fucked up for life after having to defend his home from violent scumbags

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Except one isnt wrong, legally, or morally. Kid saved someones life

lady could just be bleeding out if kid didnt intervene

Lol what? Even in states without stand your ground, you only need to retreat if it's safe. Pretty sure that it stops being safe when they start shooting

Maybe even his own. If they're willing to barge in and shoot grannies what's stopping them from shooting kids?
---

Kudos to that kid.

Fair, next.

---

Sorry I think murder isn't acceptable

---

Murder is defined the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

this is not murder

---

I'm a cop, I think I know what murder is thanks.

---

Who tf shoots a 73-year-old woman?

She better bake that kid all the cookies

Nothing like a good shit post from doom art

@Doom_Art

Talk it out I guess? What do I look like, a judge?

---

@Doom_Art

So you think the boy should talk it out with an armed home invader who has already shot and tried to kill an old woman ?

---

Hey I'm just tossing ideas out here dude. No harm in trying to open a dialogue with the guy.

---

Interesting trolling strategy im waiting to see how it progresses.

---

@Doom_Art

Pretty sure a person asking for money and still shot an old woman would not be open to dialog with a 12 year old child.

I do wonder why do you think an attempt at dialog should be establish with one who has already used violent force against an old woman ?

---

I do wonder why you think you need to tag me in every post when it's obvious I'm still hanging around on the boards for now.

---

Answer the question, I am open to a dialog with you old chap unlike some here.

So the Undertale Pacifist route IRL, eh?

I mean, if the kid was trying to get alternate endings in his 2nd play through of real life maybe.

Why are you guys replying to this goof

Why are you guys replying to this goof

The refined gentleman is open to asking why one would choose to do something besides shoot the home invader.

Do not take that to mean the boy was wrong in his actions but I do wonder what Doom_Art believes could have been a different decision.

I bet you are fun at parties

---

I'm going to point out that anyone that seriously takes Doom Art's advice will likely instead get themselves killed in such a situation.

Imagine not thinking Doom_Art isn't goofing off.

Well that's simply not true lol. If I hear someone in my home and blow a hole in their chest before they can do wtfever they broke in for, I'd say that offers me a tremendous advantage over, say, a golf club.
If I so much as hear a door being opened I can grab a gun and be ready for whatever, there's a firearm in almost every room in my house.

Let me ask you this: if you were a thief would you rather break into the home of a gun enthusiast, or the home of a pacifist?

Exactly.

---

I'd go into the gun owner's house specifically to steal the guns.

I will also take their dog if they have one. He or she will be renamed Charles.

Lol, I mean there is that and it becomes a risk vs reward deal. I don't advertise my passions for just that reason, blows my mind when dudes have stickers of their fav gun/crazy audio/etc manufacturers on their car or garage or whatever just letting thieves know there's good shit inside lol

Exactly.

Do you have a non hypothetical anecdotal source that "owning a gun decreases your risk of being robbed"? Because there's a lot more variables than just "did the robber know you had a gun"
