I just posted another similar story. In this one, a group of teens got into a fight about 10:30pm, then chased one fleeing teen into an apartment upstairs area. The story is unclear whether a fleeing teen ran into a this apartment or not, but apparently one of the teens in the pursuing group picked up a rock and threw it through an apartment window. The resident shot the teen, who died.
The resident told police that his children were in the apartment with him. He said he warned the teens, who were trying to enter his apartment, that he had a gun before he fired and killed the teen, the release said.
Tragic. It’s not clear to me whether a handheld or pistol light might have been helpful in some way for the homeowner.
