FORT WORTH - "My son had a lot of dreams and he was so talented," said Latoiya Landers. "I don't get it."

Landers' 14-year-old son Devin Baker was shot and killed Thursday morning after allegedly attempting to break in to a home in the Rosemont neighborhood. Now, Fort Worth police are investigating.

Police say they were called to the 5200 block of Southcrest Ct. in the Rosemont neighborhood of Fort Worth early Thursday morning for a call about a prowler. When they got there, a woman told them several people were attempting to break into her home but they had left the scene.

>Hope the homeowner is okay.

I’m sure she is feeling the effects but she’s still alive to talk about it. I’d hate to take someone’s life as I have a conscience but the “teen” crossed the line.

Texas has a stipulation in their law about burglary after dark, called “Under cover of darkness” if one recalls correctly.

The predicate of it is, if a person is breaking and entering after dark, it’s impossible to discern whether he’s armed, so it’s reasonable to assume that he is...

Sorry to see a kid get himself killed like that. It’s also impossible to determine the age of an aggressor after dark, if it matters.

“This entire article is written to make the criminal and his mother, the victims.”

It’s called gun control advertising and the media is very accomodating to the liberals to write articles this way to support them.

CBS editors and the author of this piece promoting pushing the “my boy did nothing wrong” narrative should be shot as well due to establishing self defense in protecting our Social Contract and way of life. A very evil perspective that CBS is pimping against liberty and freedom.

Twice! They tried to break in once and got scared off. The second time when little Devin came back he got shot. End of story.

Perhaps the author will, next, write an article detailing the shock and trauma of the homeowner.

A woman, home alone, in the middle of the night when multiple black males attempt to break into her house and fearing for her safety and life, she is forced to take a life.

Sorta doubt it will be written.

Notice there is no concern by the media for the home owner who had their life threatened.

... early Thursday morning...

He must have been headed home after Midnight Basketball and just accidentally tried to get in the wrong house.

Oh, wait a minute. It was his second attempt at breaking in the same house after the po-po left after being called the 1st time.

Devin was shot in the torso meaning he was facing the victim. Recently a B&E perp was shot in the back when he turned to run. Bad situation for the homeowner.

Yeah who talks like that normally? By bringing it up you already know they were not white.

So glad I’m not a liberal. Its so clear by their worldview and beliefs as to why so many are seeing shrinks and on psych meds.

Yep. Black women are paid to have tons of kids and not have a man in the house to get the payout.

Ma’am, we tested your son for ADHD, Hyperactivity, and Sprectrum disorders. He was negative on all. Your son is just a plain little ass hole.

In Texas “Criminal Mischief” during the hours of darkness allows for the use of Deadly Force. Subject to the jurisdiction’s LEO’s and prosecutors, of course. Shooting in Ft Worth would be justified, not so in Dallas, Austin, Houston, etc.
