A teenager knocked on the wrong door. Now he’s dead, and the homeowner is accused of murder.

Two teenagers were drinking in Chicopee, Mass., Saturday afternoon when they set off to find a friend, according to authorities. Whether it was the booze or the sheer similarity of the neighborhood’s low-slung homes, the teens somehow ended up at the wrong house.

One of the teenagers, a 15-year-old boy, banged on the door.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from inside the house, and the boy slumped on the porch with a bullet to his belly.

The boy died at a hospital. He has not yet been identified.

The homeowner, 42-year-old Jeffrey Lovell, was arrested and charged with murder, according to the Chicopee Police Department.

Good example of how underage drinking is often fatal.

"when a pane of glass broke..."

Something tells me there is more to this story

 

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

He shot through the door and is charged with murder? Either the DA is purposely over-charging to get this guy an acquittal or we're not being given the whole story.

OP missed a minor fact of the case:

“When a pane of glass broke, the suspect fired a single shot, striking the victim,” according to the statement from the Hampden DA’s office.

The drunk teen was breaking into the guys house.
Good kill.

Lovell initially tried to communicate with the teenager knocking on his door, prosecutors said. But then he snapped.
“When a pane of glass broke, the suspect fired a single shot, striking the victim,” according to the statement from the Hampden DA’s office.
Nice hack job, OP!

"Murder"? Bullshit.

But use of lethal force was not justified. One wonders what the verbal exchange was - if there was one.

You should go house to house banging on doors. Let us know who's a 'good shot'.

Murder is a bit of a stretch, maybe they are going with depraved indifference due to shooting through the door, i.e. not identifying the target?

Of course, because broken glass is worth the same as a lifetime.
You'd think they could make it cheaper.

Beer was a contributing factor, dufus.

I dream of the day when I can force myself into anyones home without consequences!
THAT is what AMERICA is all about!

Let's see. Drunk and breaking windows. In your summary, you failed to mention that window breaking and the attempted communication before shots were fired.

No, stupidity killed him ( the kid ) and the owner was not the stupid one in this equation even though those like you will claim he was...

While you break the windows?

Notice breaking of windows and not the knock, wait maybe that is how you find out if your friends are home?
