Just pointing out the changing story from the media.
The 16-year-old went to pick up his younger twin brothers from a friend's home. He was shot twice after going to the wrong address in Kansas City, Missouri, police said.
A Black teenager who was shot by a homeowner after ringing the wrong doorbell is recovering and charges were filed Monday afternoon against a white man as calls for justice intensified in Kansas City, Missouri.
Ralph Paul Yarl, 16, was shot just before 10 p.m. Thursday when he went to pick up his younger twin brothers from a friend's home, police said.
But Yarl went to 115th Street instead of 115th Terrace and was shot twice after ringing the doorbell, his family’s attorneys, Lee Merritt and Ben Crump, said.
“Whoever was inside took a little longer than he anticipated to respond, and so he just waited at the door,” Merritt, told NBC News on Monday, citing a formal statement Yarl gave to law enforcement investigators from his hospital bed Friday.
“He heard rustling around going on in the house and then finally the door was open,” the attorney said. “And he was confronted by a man who told him, ‘Don’t come back around here,’ and then he immediately fired his weapon.”
The teen was shot in the head, which cracked his skull and left him with a critical, traumatic brain injury, Merritt said. While the teenager was still on the ground, the homeowner opened fire a second time, striking Yarl in the upper right arm, he added.
Yarl went to three houses before someone finally helped him, his aunt, Faith Spoonmore, wrote on a fundraising page for the teen’s medical expenses.
Late Monday afternoon, Andrew Lester, 85, who is white, was charged with two felony counts in the shooting, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

An 84-year-old white man in Kansas City, Mo., was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action on Monday for shooting a Black teenager late last week after the teen accidentally rang the wrong doorbell.
Clay County Prosecutor Zachary Thompson announced in a press conference that Andrew Lester will face the two felony charges after he shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl Thursday evening. The assault charge carries potential punishment of up to life in prison, while sentences for armed criminal action range from three to 15 years.
. He has since been released from the hospital after suffering life-threatening injuries, and is now recovering at home, according to local media.
Yarl plays multiple instruments in the metropolitan youth orchestra and participated in the Missouri Scholars Academy for gifted high school students in 2022. His goal is to attend Texas A&M University to study chemical engineering.
Darron Edwards, lead pastor of the United Believers Community Church, says the community is “shocked” by the actions that transpired against Yarl.
“The way we are told right now that this has happened, ringing a doorbell and instantly, getting shot two times, is not how you want to look at your city,” Edwards says. “I started thinking about the little kids at Halloween that trick or treat, can they ring the doorbell?”
But as investigators and Lester’s legal defense look to the self-defense laws that may apply in this case, Sean D. O’Brien, a professor at University of Missouri Kansas City School of Law, tells TIME “There’s still a reasonableness standard. He has to be able to point to something to say he was in fear of [the] ringing [of] the doorbell, and [Yarl] being Black by itself is not going to cut it.”
The prosecutor said Lester, who lived alone, shot Yarl with a .32-caliber revolver through a glass door. No words were exchanged between the two. There were no witnesses or video of the shooting itself.

Why would you post it unless you thought it made a difference?
If the kid had entered the house, how could he get shot through the front door?
Wouldnt two different incidents usually have different headlines?
You couldnt have a standard headline could you?

How many "celebrities" have been outraged about this shooting?
If so why?
Try Specsavers....
Or are you too stupid to see it?
US gun madness: The five innocent youngsters shot in just five days by trigger-happy
To a group of children whose ball rolled into a neighbour's garden, popping over to retrieve it probably seemed an innocent affair. Little did they know it would escalate into the latest example of gun-toting Americans' swiftness to pull the trigger in seemingly mundane circumstances. For not only did their neighbour Robert Singletary, 24, shout at them, he went into his house and emerged with a gun before allegedly firing wildly at residents who came to the scene in Gaston County, North Carolina, on Tuesday. Six-year-old Kinsley White (top left) was grazed by a bullet in her cheek and her mother, Ashley, suffered a minor wound to her elbow. But her father William suffered serious injuries when he was shot in the back.
