Amish? I don't think the criminals were Amish. Let me decode the article for you:

A 65-year-old man shot two teens

First clue.

he was a 16-year-old from the city

Clue two.

Officials said his mother asked them to give her time to notify relatives before releasing his name.

Third clue.

The other teen, who was shot once

Note that the distinguishing identifiable feature is not identifying at all. Clue four.

A third teen, identified only as a 15-year-old boy

Clue five.

Police said the shooting occurred shortly before 11 [on a Wednesday]

Last clue.

Once you familiarize yourself with police procedure and basic crime non-reporting by sensitive liberals it's all perfectly clear, no?

The mother sent him out on patrol?

Nice work on the decode.

In this case the reporters omitted these often clarifying details:
a. he was an "aspiring" rapper or basketball player
b. commentary from his 32 year old grand mother
c. kind words from some local preacher or reverend, "Julius was a good boy with a warm smile."

“Officials said his mother asked them to give her time to notify relatives before releasing his name”

She needs time to reach Father who doesn’t live at home? Time to determine WHO the father was. It takes time to reach
“relatives” in prison.
