        Thank God for the home security video that confirmed this teenagers story. And thank god this man missed when shooting at him. I can't imagine how terrified this boy was and he was already lost and just trying to get home.

        We've come to this. We are so divided as a people that our first reaction to a knock on the door is to fight. Thankful this child cwas not hurt. Saddened he had to face this

        Exactly. You answer the door and your first response is to shoot the person on the porch. Sad.

        I honestly can't blame him. I don't think he thought it thru but still. last I saw teens were knocking on strangers' doors and beating them with brass knuckles. I don't answer my door without a gun near by. if I don't know you I urge you to knock else where.

        No need for shooting people asking for directions. This shows that people still automatically assume things based off the color of your skin.
