“Think it’s funny to bang on doors and run? Think again,” the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in Indiana wrote in a Facebook post in August. “What might seem like a prank can lead to serious legal trouble, property damage, or worse – someone getting hurt.”

“That’s a good way to end up dead, especially in Florida,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office told CNN affiliate WESH in July after arresting a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy for kicking a resident’s door one night. Ashamed of this country, blaming the children

Gunshot is the top cause of death for children.

in texas ding dong ditch is a capital crime

Send in the marines, guard is busy.

A silly prank - a senseless shooting. Yes, pray for this family. But when will the US do something about guns to protect the next child? Not everyone is a safe gun owner. Guns with mental illness, or dementia, or blind rage are unpredictable, potentially lethal combinations.

Houston, we have a gun problem

Thats Texas Crazy,

Horrible. HORRIBLE.

Lesson learned

Oh fuck off

Can't wait for the 'Thoughts and Prayers' from the GoP....

Trump voter for sure

Shot for ringing a door bell? We played that game back in the 70’s, no harm done.

Guns! Ringing a door bell is a death penalty? Trumpism!

Should have been playing video games safe in his bedroom. Society is no place for Children in 2025

Time to send in the National Guard …..

Stop your children from doing this! Too dangerous!!

This is the outcome when any dumbass can purchase a gun.

Guns aren’t the problem. People are the problem. Stop giving guns to people.

Don't play this "prank" in a high crime neighborhood www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Can I be the first to suggest thoughts and Prayers.

Guns and people are never a good mix

If black, they get life, if white, they get told to be more careful and not charged

So that means kkk nome is gonna send the troops because crime is so high in Texas.

I bet this fucker gets off and not charged with murder, only in texas. No defense for this kind of reaction.

maybe read the article. will be charged because he chased them, was not "standing his ground"

Who gives a fuck what you think

Very mature. Also not an opinion but facts backed by the article. reading comprehension. what a concept.

American Dream!!

Not everybody in society is emotionally stable enough to be trusted with a gun. Also, the kid was running away when he shot him. Which means this idiot shot the kid in the back.

A simple display of the American culture. Nothing to worry about. Using your second amendment right 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you can't read that article, here is another one. www.newsobserver.com/news/nation-...
