“....they mistook Lovell’s home for someone else’s.”

That just doesn’t hold water. If they mistook it for someone else’s home, which we are to assume was a friend’s, why would they not respond to his efforts to communicate with them, or why try to break in, break a window pane? Does not add up.

I would imagine that in time he will be cleared, but the horror he will live thru in the meanwhile will be insufferable.

While we’re at it, why do people live in places like MA?

They were pounding on the door and it eventually broke a pane of door glass. The homeowner then shot them through another glass section striking the teen in the chest. I will bet they were likely stupid and drunk on top of it.

Stupid drunk teens do really stupid things.
The man should have positioned himself behind cover, with 9-1-1 already called, and YELLING at the teens pounding on his door to immediately stop...as police had been summoned.

The main concern for the homeowner is that a locked entry door still stood between him and the three teens. There is no report that it had been kicked off its hinges or any similar extenuating circumstances.

He may get lucky and be no-billed with this home defense killing. There are many lawful gunowners who would shown another couple minutes of restraint...
