Isn’t 14 way too old for “hide and seek”?
She was prowling, more likely. Maybe looking for unattended items to steal.
Another reason you should know your neighbors. Find out who they are, what their lives are like. Some will be friends, maybe a few might cause trouble, most will be neutral.
I see kids in the creek behind my house fairly often. I know who they are, where they live. Because of this, I don’t mind them playing back there.
What the heck has people so worked up that they just start shooting at anything that moves? I get the whole “judged by 12 instead of carried by 6” thing but the outcome really isn’t any different if your decision is likely to get you life in prison anyway.
Is the girl ok, in the hospital, DOA? What? Headline and 1st excerpt with no data on the most important part of the story.
FAIL.
Interesting that Breanna Taylor’s boyfriend can shoot a cop and she gets killed in “return fire” and a capitol crime goes into swing on the cops.
But here’s what’s even worse:
“His arrest is the latest in a recent spate of shootings involving young victims being targeted by older people reaching for their guns.”
So now it’s older people having guns that causes the crimes. I’m older, I have a gun, does that make me a suspect to shoot someone for those reasons. (The gun is legal) Or is this their efforts to apply Alinsky’s rules RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,” and RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Bull/bear fight.

Leaving the specifics of this incident aside, but addressing the whole series of similar instances I have to say we have a population that in a large portion was not properly trained in the use of deadly force.
Firearms are deadly weapons and should not be used in alarm, irritation or plain anger. Unfortunately, we have people that have firearms without the proper training and discipline.
He will be seeing plenty of late night shadows at Angola.
I thought most of the Louisanaians moved to Houston back in 2005.
I’m wondering what exact time on “Sunday morning” did this happen. 11 AM or 2 AM?
Prowling around a neighbors yard in the dark "early Sunday morning" can get a person in trouble.
As folks say, nothing good happens after midnight, and certainly not if you're playing hide and seek in your neighbor's yard.
years ago I had to tell my nieces who was fifteen and seventeen that they and ther friends were setting up a bad situation when they they would play a version of the game tag where they were jumping fences and hiding in garages of the neighborhood. told them that they could accidently be shot or if anything was stolen or vandalized that they could get the blame. mom and dad agreed with me and immediately ended their 2 daughter’s participation in this game.
