    The sheriff’s office said the woman, who was not at the home, had called deputies before the shooting to report two trespassers on her property. She also called Metz, who drove over to the home and allegedly blocked the teen’s car from leaving, KUSA reported.

    Metz then got out of his vehicle and is alleged to have fired one round through the windshield of the teen’s car, the station reported.

    These fuckeits refuse to ever just let a situation de-escalate on its own

    Like, you drive there to make them leave, prevent them from leaving. And shoot at the fucking driver before speaking to them.

    We can’t ignore the real life consequences of all this fucking fear mongering.

      They don’t want to deescalate. They already had a big celebration planned in their head for murdering someone before they even do the act. They want to kill people so they can look like some hero. These people are sick and as far as I’m concerned their punishment should equal their crime.

      Current report is the gun accidentally went off. Dude deserves the books thrown at him though. Kids where already off his property and honestly where not a threat in the first place. This is like that one story where the dude shot at a car turning around in his driveway.

      As someone who owns multiple guns both for sport and hunting these are the people that should not ever own one!!!

        Not his property. His gf’s property. Dude has no legal right whatsoever to guard property that isn’t his own, does he?

            Well if he “drove over to her property”, he might not even be an occupant

              If you drive to your friend’s house for dinner, you’re a legal occupant of their house.

          That’s not entirely true.

          When I took my concealed carry class in Tx there was a section on this.

          It depends heavily on the relationship between you and the owner of the property. The example given in the class was a good neighbor relationship and suggested talking about this before something happened.

          I would expect that if the shooter and the owner are in contact during the event to weigh heavily on it.

          The gist is, it depends state-to-state but I would expect that their relationship would make an otherwise LEGAL use of a firearm OK. (I’m really not sure if this is a legal use…)

      According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the station, one of the teens reported hearing Metz say “Oh s—, my gun just went off” after the shooting.

      The kids did trespass by hopping a fence, I’m guessing his defense is going to be he was just trying to hold them there for police but accidentally discharged his weapon into a kids face. The fuckwit is really lucky the kid lived.

      I can’t understand the idiotic appeal of inserting yourself into these situations when the police are already on the way and there’s no danger to yourself to just waiting and letting them handle it.

      allegedly blocked the teen’s car from leaving . . .

      Sounds like unlawful imprisonment to me. I’m sure he will be prosecuted for that (NOT).
