CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”

According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”

The shooting happened April 13th.

The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.

“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”

“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”

KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”

was the shooter MAGA?  if so.....he was justified to shoot a black kid for knocking on his door   according to many on the far right

Then there's the comments in this thread.  The chorus will only grow louder as the right-wing conspiracies surrounding this begin to crystalize.  We've only seen this movie a thousand times.

Is it just me, or is the Alabama birthday party shooting not getting much coverage? 4 dead 30 wounded and the story seemed to die quickly. I guess The Yarl and Gillis shootings were pushed to the front page. 

 
I'm sorry...but these will be off the front page soon enough.  probably by this weekend unfortunately.   and it will always be too soon to talk about them according to so many politicians and those who agree with those politicians.

At this point, why report on any of them?  The people in power won't do anything about it.  Heck...one of them said that directly to a camera.

I have seen coverage here on the local news.  This is with all of the shootings in the Cleveland.  The last several years there have been a ton of drive by shootings.
