A husband and wife are asleep in their home, and the wife awakens to the sound of breaking glass.
The police said,
Saturday around 12:15 a.m. Police say the homeowner’s wife was jolted awake by a loud noise. Investigators say she woke her husband, who then grabbed a pistol and shot the teenager once in the abdomen. The homeowner called 911, officers arrived on the scene and treated the boy, and the teen was airlifted to University Hospital.
The father of the teen has now spoken out indicating that his son was drinking at a neighbors house, but left and went to the home that he broke into and was shot, saying:
“It’s my thoughts and beliefs he was going to look in the window and open his friend’s window and fell through it. I don’t believe he would ever break into someone’s home,”
Either way, this is a horrible preventable tragedy. It’s unclear if additional illumination such as a handheld or pistol light could have prevented any of this.
