Police have not identified the shooter or his race. Information that officials have now does not point to the crime being racially motivated, but Police Chief Stacey Graves said that aspect remains under investigation.

A Black teenager was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly going to the wrong house to pick up his younger twin brothers from a family friend's house.
The Kansas City Star reported the 16-year-old boy, who family members have identified online as Ralph Yarl, rang the doorbell and was immediately shot by the homeowner who answered it.
Yarl was meant to pick up his brothers from a friend’s house on 115th Terrace. He ended up ringing the doorbell at a home on 115th Street, Faith Spoonmore, the teen’s aunt, wrote online.
A man opened the door, saw Yarl and shot him in the head. When Yarl fell to the ground, the man shot him again. Yarl got up and ran from the property, but he had to ask at three different homes before someone helped him, Spoonmore said.

Stupid cracker.
Yarl must have a hard head.
There has to be more to this story than currently revealed.
BS alert is registering mid-to-high.
Who does this? The story makes no sense. If you don’t want to answer the door, at least ask through the door what the visitor wants.
There has to be more to this story.
Especially when Ben Crump is involved.
That’s the tell
Homeowner was wearing a MAGA hat and shouted “This is MAGA country” before firing. /s
If this is in the Hickman Mills suburb, I can see this pretty easily.
It needs another ‘57 F5+ to clean up the mess there now.
Yeah, my BS meter is pegged.
I would say there is a bit more to this story then reported.
Yep.
Police have not identified the shooter or his race. Information that officials have now does not point to the crime being racially motivated, but Police Chief Stacey Graves said that aspect remains under investigation.
Except, when the victim is White and the perp is black, which happens multiple times a day, in the US.
Right, Benjamin?

I think that a solid majority of law-abiding blacks get nervous when potential gang members ring their doorbells. Perhaps that is what your emoji means.
FWIW—the street and the terrace are only a block from each other. I suspect that the babysitter, and the neighbors a block over, and the 16 year old are all likely part of the same socio-economic group.
“BS alert is registering mid-to-high.”
Yeah this is a set up for certain. I wanna know the details here. No reasonable person fires a weapon at someone calmly ringing the doorbell looking for his siblings at the wrong house.
The story reads like the setup for a joke. I don’t know what went down here, but it wasn’t what is being described. Bad fiction.
Did he go “to” the house, or did he enter the house?
Once you enter, you’re entitled to every piece of lead that the home owner wants to give you. Period.
1. How do you know the shooter was white?
2. What makes you think you're getting the whole story?
