Boy, 11, shot dead after playing "ding dong ditch" doorbell-ringing prank

Can a 11 yo be technically considered as a dangerous intruder?

Instead of calling it "ding dong ditch" we could call it "shooting a child in the back while they're running away from you."

I'm struggling to conceive why you're implying shooting a kid in the back while they're running away from you can be justified in some way. Whatever threat may or may not have existed was clearly over when the children started running away.

It also said the kid had done that to other homes that night, but they didn't mention trying to kick in the door. To me, it sounds like he is trying to cover his ass by making him sound like a threat with the hopes of not getting sentenced to jail or possibly getting a lighter sentence.

LOL you just took him as his word. You believe someone who is willing to shoot a child in the back. That's on you, not us.

Changes with the times, used to be Nicky Nicky nine doors, or knock knock ginger. Door bells didn’t exist at some point, and this prank predates those.
