MIAMI -- Thinking his home was under attack, a Florida homeowner shot and wounded a 10-year-old whose father had driven him to participate in a drive-by shooting with a paintball gun, police said.
Michael Williams, 26, told Opa-locka police his son begged him to drive by a home where young people were gathered Sunday night so he could fire his paintball out the window, according to a police report released Tuesday.
Williams drove by the home as his son fired off several rounds, police said. The homeowner confused the paintball for real gunfire, telling police he thought his family was being attacked. He fired one shot, which struck the child. The boy then lost his balance and was run over by his father's vehicle, police said.

As an alleged White Supremacist, I feel that this incident is mostly my fault.
Instant Karma
The father was doing the drive-by, with his son being used as a paint-ball cover.
Read it again.
I’d acquit if I were on a jury.
That was just plain stupid
LOL!
Scary things are 1) that man procreated 2) he votes and 3) he thinks it was acceptable to do this.
Apparently, after driving his son over to the house for a coming-of-age drive by shooting, the boy took return-fire and fell out of the vehicle after which Dad drove his son over again.
Heart Warming Father-son bonding activity.
What he [the father] did was save some policeman from having to shoot him[the kid] later on down the road.
Pity they didn’t give demographic information, so we could properly assess the “gun violence” happening here. White supremacy, I presume?
DEA agent pushes his wife and kids down and breaks leather as pop pop pop comes from car and DEA agent lights the car up. Kids filmed it with Dads betamax camera...one of those 15 lbs cameras of the late 80s early 90s. I cant remember but I think he killed one or two. Whole thing was on an early faces of death website. DEA agent cleared as he thought it was a hit. Said paint ball barrel looked/sounded like a suppressed weapon.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. ESP in Miami!
Agree. WAY more details need to come out.
This is one of the stupidest stories I’ve ever read.
” whose father had driven him to participate in a drive-by shooting with a paintball gun”
What a Dad. My Dad never did that. I had to go hunt Rabbits and Quail.
...so he could fire his paintball out the window
The boy then lost his balance and was run over by his father’s vehicle
I’m assuming the thug wannabe fell out the car window an somehow wound up under the car?
Reported just like CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS networks do. Never report what actually occurred.
A “father?”..... BS - he should get 20 years in prison!
