The kids were ringing and running. There are other witnesses to their practice throughout the neighborhood.

If the kid was ringing and running, and the homeowner with the gun saw him face to face that would mean he was waiting for him to show up.

It is possible that as soon as the bell was rung the homeowner threw open the door and shot the kid as he was turning to run away.

That's a bit more than your typical second-degree murder.

If you think this guy was in the right, you might send him a donation or two, maybe sell your house and give him the proceeds. He's gonna' need it!

Levin's doorbell was not the only one the boys rang Saturday morning. Residents up and down the 6100 block of Woodbury reported being awakened by ringing doorbells and knocks shortly after midnight. Most said they sloughed it off or answered the door, found nobody there and went back to bed. But a second round of frantic pounding and shouting from Drewes' friend minutes later caught their attention.

Carol Quiroga, who lives across the street from Levin, heard nothing outside as she made her way to bed minutes before the shooting -- no arguing, no scuffling. A loud "pop," broke the silence, followed by someone saying calmly, "Call 911" once, then again, she said. What sounded like a boy's voice came next, saying "Help. I need help."

Testimony conflicts. If all these doorbells were rung and doors knocked on, how come Quiroga didn't hear any of it? Not even running, laughing, pranksters. IMHO this is being spun as an anti CCW story, even to the point of repeating unconfirmed allegations of the kid being shot in the back, well enough to give a couple of participants here the impression that the kid was shot in the back by the 'evil concealed weapons permit holder'.

The 'facts', as presented, do not add up.
