11-year-old fatally shot after ringing doorbell and running from Houston home, officials say

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Thread going to be filled with people victim blaming as if we all didn’t do the same things when we were that age.

This was a trigger happy individual waiting for an opportunity to use a weapon on a live target. There was no threat posed to him or his household, and the police still let him go.

The world then isn't what it is now.

Ain't no way you thought an 11-year-old running away was a threat or an adult.

That's be real the shooter was looking for someone to shoot and it happened to be an 11 year old boy. RIP to the boy and I hope the shooter gets punished harshly.

What's sad about this senseless death of a child, is that that yes it was late however, most of us played that game as children.

Happened just before midnight

what the hell is an 11 year-old doing out in the streets at midnight

We not gon talk about that

Shooting a child, is absolutely diabolical and insane.
For a prank...? We can only hope the shooter gets life, same for the killers of the 2 other victims.

May they RIP.
This is NOT what the second amendment was designed for.

Kids can't even be kids anymore. Sad. RIP.

This would be an amazing tag line to run with pictures and videos of school shooting victims uncensored. It should be on billboards and commercials everywhere . It’s like what emit tills mama did. She wanted an open casket so they could see what racism did to her child . Hell run a Superbowl commercial actual pictures of the uvalde, sandy hook,etc victims.

Someone needs to upload all these news clips of people getting shot on tik tok for these silly kids , so they’ll know a lot of people will literally shoot your ass today

Homeowner getting charged

Kicking your door in and staying there is one thing but ringing your doorbell and running is a jail sentence

Let’s see some doorbell cam video….i know the owner has to have one. Chances are these lil b*stards probably was doing more than just ringing the bell and running, or doing it repeatedly to irritate the owner enough to send them to the other side…

So shooting little kids running away is justifiable?

So the home owner was immediately supposed to know that its attacking kid ringing his bell close to midnight??

Please show me in the article where it says the resident knew it was a kid and shot him anyway. I must have missed that part

The point is that when someone is running away, they're not a threat so there's justifiable reason to shoot him.

People are way too miserable nowadays.

We used to do that shh then.

Did the resident open the door first or did he shoot through it?
