My house was shot while I was standing behind where it hit.

[Zephri]

Looks like they were shooting birdshot.

 

[bwframe]

The cops found the 17 year olds that did it.

Did you figure why they targeted you or were they shooting houses at random?

 

[Ruiner]

Did you figure why they targeted you or were they shooting houses at random?

Was random... I'm still extremely angry about all of this.

 

[Fenway]

I might be a little ticked if someone shot my house.

Was random... I'm still extremely angry about all of this.

 

[Bigum1969]

I'd be pi$$es off if someone shot at my house threatening my family. If it hurts someone it doesn't matter if it is random or not. I'm glad everyone is okay.

 

[BloodEclipse]

I wonder if these idiots knew they could be shot for what they were doing? This does fall under the castle doctrine as an attack upon ones dwelling.

 

[Bigum1969]

Good question Blood Eclipse. I feel like it should, but I am not a qualified opinion.

 

[JetGirl]

This does fall under the castle doctrine as an attack upon ones dwelling.

There's more, but:

IC 35-41-3-2
Use of force to protect person or property
Sec. 2. (a) A person is justified in using reasonable force against another person to protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person:
(1) is justified in using deadly force; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
if the person reasonably believes that that force is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to the person or a third person or the commission of a forcible felony. No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary.
(b) A person:
(1) is justified in using reasonable force, including deadly force, against another person; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
if the person reasonably believes that the force is necessary to prevent or terminate the other person's unlawful entry of or attack on the person's dwelling, curtilage, or occupied motor vehicle.

Here's hoping that the little bast**** get more than a slap on the wrist from the judge.

 

[baldmax]

I am sure if you saw them , you would have returned fire. Thank God they were using bird shot, it could have been worse.

 

[indyninja]

those punk kids are lucky you didn't shoot them

 

[Mr. Mysterious]

Just a question...does North Liberty still close their police station at night?

Just wondering....

Oh, btw, I grew up in Walkerton. Go Glenn and all that bs.

 

[TomN]

Every time I've driven through North Liberty at night the police station has appeared to be closed.

 

[Ruiner]

I didn't even know North Liberty had a police station. I just assumed it was all St. Joe County Sherrif's.

I grew up in granger. My mom moved into my step dad's place when I went off to college. Not too familiar with the area.

 

[MilitaryArms]

So, why did they shoot into your house? I can't believe they would be going free... what excuse could they possibly give that would excuse shooting at a house and not get charged with assault if not attempted murder?

 

[sparky241]

Was random... I'm still extremely angry about all of this.

and rightfully so. Sorry to here about your ordeal,anyway you can get this punk to pay for the window?

 

[Donnelly]

Wonder if they could get assault with a deadly weapon since you were standing in the window at the time.

Most likely the prosecuting attorney won't even think of that charge unless Ruiner had some evidence that he was standing in front of the window at the time the shots occured. Lack of proof and all that. It's pretty sick that 16 and 17 year olds run around doing crap like this, knowing that "they are just minors" and will get a slap on the wrist. **Oh, probation and restitution, your honor? That will be fine.**
