A teenager was shot and injured by a homeowner in the United States. The police announced this on Sunday (local time) at a press conference in Kansas City, Missouri. The 16-year-old wanted to pick up his siblings, but accidentally rang the wrong door, several US media reported.
The homeowner then shot and killed the black young man. The case occurred Thursday. The boy is in stable condition, police said. The detectives gave no details about the severity and nature of his injuries.
The renewed case of gun violence in the United States sparked protests in Kansas City. According to CNN, hundreds of people took to the streets. Allegations of racism were made. Police Chief Stacey Graves did not rule out a racist component in the case. She did not provide more detailed information about the crime and the suspect, referring to the ongoing investigation. The suspect was held for 24 hours, but has since been released.
“I’m tired of this feeling,” actress Halle Berry (56) wrote on Twitter about the case. “This innocent child is now fighting for his life,” she added, posting a photo of the victim in hospital with a bandage on his head. It breaks her heart that the boy was shot – “by a man who didn’t want him on his property”. (SDA)
