What a terrible story. Kids in my neighborhood ring the doorbell and run every once in a while, and although aggravating, we just go back to bed. If we felt threatened by someone outside our home, we would call the police. Certainly shooting this boy was not something that the man should have done. He should be arrested soon, I would think.

Good idea. Perhaps the police can notify your next of kin.
