"how on earth did he get shot in the back?"

===

The article does NOT say, that he was shot in the back.

See my post 67 with the quotes from the article.

What say all of you?

IMHO the home owner probably over reacted, but none of us were there to see exactly what happened. The media is going to report this as liberally as possible. Was the kid shot in the back? No proof at this time, that will be established by a photo from the autopsy. Was there any instrument nearby which could easily ahve been mistaken for a weapon? I would hope I would wait until I felt an absolute threat, but considering the home owner had been wakened from sleep, how clearly was he thinking and reacting? I understand that when we take up arms the individual responsibility increases, I just hope the grand jury understands and reacts accordingly.
