NEW ORLEANS -- A 14-year-old boy is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot in the head by a Marigny homeowner. Police say the teen was standing on the shooter's property in the 700 block of Mandeville Street.

Now the homeowner faces an attempted second degree murder charge.

"I think its a terrible situation. I know Merritt very well. He's a very good friend and it's very sad," said neighbor Charles Hazouri.

Around 2 a.m. Friday, the New Orleans Police Department says a 14-year-old boy ended up shot in the head, allegedly standing in 33-year-old Merritt Landry's yard. Police say the Marigny homeowner spotted the teen by his car and fired one shot striking him in the head.

Hazouri says his security cameras allegedly show the 14-year-old scaling his neighbor's fence and eight minutes later the police cars pull up.

Hazouri claims those same cameras capture three events between 9:40 p.m. Thursday night and 2 a.m. Friday. He says several people allegedly rode by on bikes checking out homes and parked cars.

Finally, some good shooting. But he needs a bigger caliber, I guess.

Police won't say if the teen was armed..

= The teen was armed.

"I don't know the facts over here, but you can't walk out of your house in this neighborhood without someone having a gun to your face and that is not right," said Kathleen who asked that we use only her first name.

= The teen was armed or there was a reasonable expectation that he was armed.

Statistics consistently prove, that if you see a young black male between 14 and 35, there is a 50-50 chance he is not a “good boy”

When you catch him jumping your fence, you pretty much have your answer

Especially if he is jumping your fence at 2 AM.

Lousiana? Simple enough to keep a couple of alligators in the backyard. I had a blue-eyed husky and the kids wouldn’t go near the yard with the devil dog.

A young Black kid walked up to me near a mall close to Memphis when I stopped to let the kids stretch their legs and the dog have a drink. He warned me about gangs. I said, “see that dog?” He turned around and beat feet because the dog looked up at him. You couldn’t have planned it better.

Damn! I’ve never seen the word “allegedly” used so much in one article. Allegedly was “standing” in the yard? Where was he laying when the cops showed up?

Your “statistics” mostly prove that you are an idiot.

Unless you are a hardened criminal, and all you see are people in the jail cell next to you.

I have a feeling this woman is complaining that all the homeowners are armed.

Ghetto drug delivery vehicles and getaway cars.
