16 Year Old Shot in the Head for Knocking on Wrong House

[@wandaborowy9400]

If you don't know the person don't answer the door.

[@lashayj9741]

it’s really that simple especially if you aren’t expecting company , just don’t go to the door !

[@Flammable281]

Totally agree. I do not answer the door after sundown or even peek out the window unless I am expecting a visitor but I’ll always verify who it is until I answer the door. During the day I will look out a window but if I don’t recognize the person I don’t answer the door then either.

[@Deelee1833]

This is unbelievable he shot through the😮 the door he didn't open it iam just glad he's still alive thank you god..

[@SandraBugler-vq6co]

He went to other houses for help but didn't get any. A man saw him lying in the middle of the street so he went to help him until the ambulance came. Such a tragic story. Stay safe Lamont. I'm glad you didn't go to the door. You probably would have been met with silence but in this day and age you never know.

[@GYMMYT]

Maybe he didn't get help because nobody was home.

[@kellyhiggins4234]

Sad, people don't want to get themselves involved. There's so much going on many people are living with mental health illness and aren't receiving help they lock themselves in there homes. You can't be the hero any longer without given thought that your life may be in danger for helping. Lots of people don't get involved just because period. These are different times to be honest do you feel safe ? Each time I'm in a store my eyes are always looking for exits . The anxiety of having to be in flight mode isn't healthy. But , kids are bringing guns to sweet sixteen birthday party's and killing everyone there because of a disagreement! Just yesterday a man was playing basketball with his daughter the ball rolled onto his neighbors yard, he runs over to get it and he's being shot at along with his little 6 year old daughter. Everyone is entitled this Country is nuts and I don't see it getting better. I just hope Lamont is careful is really not safe any longer . Kind of reminds me of that stupid horror movie my nephews had been watching called " Purge " of course it had been just a movie however, people now shooting at one another for the sake of the Law saying they can is kind of just like that horror flick. Be safe everyone.. Such a tragedy. ❤

An 85 year old man living alone and he is armed ? That is asking for trouble. He may think the world is out to get him. He has a lot of time to daydream……. If he has family and they let him live alone ( with his gun ), they should be ashamed. It’s a time bomb………Amazon delivers to 8 or 9 PM in some places meaning it’s a great thing he hasn’t already shot someone. This was avoidable……Thank you, Lamont for filming this for us to have a chance to pray for this young man. Hey Lamont at Large fans… Let’s pray !

[@mr.slothington4517]

This is so sad, you never know how people will escalate a simple situation. I went for a walk with my wife in a local cemetery today, and a elderly man sped around to cut us off from our car. Apparently I had caused him to have to drive a few extra rows because his truck was to big to turn, and he wanted an apology from me for it. I legit for a second thought it might escalate to violence he was so angry. You just never know sometimes if someone isn't all there.

[@GrapeApe2018]

Shot through the door. Glass was replaced the next day by his buddy. The news caught the replacement on video. Can't remember if it was channel 4 or 9.

[@LamontAtLarge]

[@vetty1405]

What kind of person opens a door and shoot someone without asking them what they want. Who does that? And what burgler would knock or bang on a door before breaking in? That man had a glass door, he saw the young boy was black, he didn't hesitate. I'm British, here in the UK, I can't understand it. I just don't get it. He watched Fox News all day you say? Well then, that makes sense. Thank-you Lamont for sharing. I pray, that young man recover fully and go on to live a full and blessed life.

[@danielhartin7680]

A lot of questions these days. Why would a man shoot a six year old girl for retrieving her ball that rolled into his yard? Why would a man shoot up a car that drove into his driveway, when that driver realized his mistake and was backing out? BTW, that one killed a 20 year old passenger but has received only a fraction of the media coverage this one has. And we all know why. Both the little girl and young woman were white.

Sadly, that's been happening quite a bit lately, young people accidentally going to the wrong place and getting shot at. In New York, a 20 year old girl was shot and killed when she pulled into the wrong driveway and a high school girl in Texas was shot when she approached the wrong car late at night. So sad and scary.

What's worse about this is, the criminal who shot him cant suffer or rot much in prison due to his age. You dont shoot people for knocking on your door. If your scared get your fire arm ready and call the cops.

[@eadred9164]

The point is simple. You cannot pre-emptively shoot someone just because you think they might possess a threat. If it's a high crime area with break ins and hine invasions, you're well within your right to stay prepared. But unless you catch someone on the act of them posing a direct threat to you, discharging your weapon is you committing pre-meditated murder. Simple as that. This is just another example of gun culture and paranoia. When everyone has a gun you're not safer, you're paranoid.
