    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.

    He blocked them in the property then shot them in their car

      Yes, that is absolutely insane, I agree, and I am not trying to justify his actions. I just wanted to point out that it’s not like some kids walked up to the door and got shot they were in fact trespassing, so the headline is a bit misleading.

        By that logic the postman, politicians canvassing, the neighbour’s child who lost their ball, are all trespassing.

        Dumb? Maybe, but these were teens. Dumb is obligatory. Misleading headline? No.
