Police say a 23-year-old man who allegedly kicked in the door of the wrong apartment just before 1:00 a.m. February 23, 2025, was shot dead by a resident inside.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported the deceased as Matthew Maggart, a Western Kentucky University student.
Police indicated the rightful resident of the apartment was on the phone with 911 while Maggart was “actively kicking the door to their apartment.”
The Bowling Green Police Department released a statement noting that Maggart did live in the apartment complex, but the door he allegedly kicked in was not the one to his apartment.

Now I have to read the whole article.
Shoot :)
Cause why would he even kick in his own door?
Even misplacing a key..that seems a little extreme...like you said..intoxicated maybe
I always knock before kicking in a random door.
... But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise
But it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys..............
Exactly. The best way to stop bullets is to knock first. Anybody who kicks in my door will meet the same fate.
thanks for the ear worm.
Terrible for the families and the shooter, but stupidity has consequences.

Reminds me of an incident in Oklahoma years ago. a rural farmer one night was cleaning his rifle. Upon finishing cleaning it he loaded it.
At that moment two men kicked in his door. It did not go well for the kickers as funerals were held the next few days.
So am I.
Years ago in Kalamazoo Michigan, I was cleaning my browning hi-power 9mm and just finished reassembling the pieces....then some numbskull barged into my 3rd floor apartment and was met with me and a gun in his face. He was drunk and just happened to walk into the wrong unit ... girlfriends was the next bldg over...I guarantee he remembers that faux pas . I didn’t pull the trigger:)
Now I have that song stuck in my head :)
Like my grandfather, I keep a loaded gun within reach.
Anyone who kicks in my door at 1 AM and gets past my dogs is going to get a bullet to the brain.
“I am thinking drunk or high”
Dang, you must be related to Miss Cleo. :)
My home is not my castle, it’s my bunker. It’s a crazy world out there thanks to the Democrats’ democrazy.
Oh! I get it now. When someone kicks in your door it has absolutely nothing to do with having any intent to cause any harm to you or to steal something. It simply means that they kicked in the wrong door.
He FAFOed.
