No land lines? Half the people I know dont have land lines. As for holes in the story, maybe so but Ill wait for all the facts to come out before I pass judgment. Plus, it sounds like he shot at him while fleeing the property. If thats the case, hes in deep trouble. This isnt the homeowners first incident with a firearm. From a local article: Court records show Zeigler was charged with felonious assault with a dangerous weapon, aiming without malice and felony firearms in 2006. He was found guilty of three counts of aiming without malice and sentenced to one year of probation.
Im not saying the 14 year old wasnt up to something, but as a CPL holder, which I am, it appears this guy may have went beyond protecting him and his wife. In Michigan, you have a right to protect yourself and others when you are in imminent danger. If its true that he was running away and he shot at him, the homeowner is probably in trouble. We shall see.
So, upper class suburban safety mom supposedly disciplines her son by taking away his cell phone, leaving him with no way to reach them despite the fact that he's apparently a latchkey kid being left home alone to wait for the school bus?
Whether you want to admit it or not, the story is full of holes and no matter how you slice it, doesn't make sense.
