The grandson of the homeowner who shot Ralph Yarl says his grandfather had become consumed with watching conservative news and following conspiracy theories built on misinformation. “His actions are his responsibility ... Ralph deserves justice,' he says.
Yarl, an honors student at Staley High School in Kansas City, was going to pick up his younger brothers from a home in the city's Northland neighborhood when he mistakenly rang the doorbell of the wrong address, his family's attorney said.
Lester said he fired twice through the glass door before the male ran away, and that they did not exchange words. He said firing his weapon"was the last thing he wanted to do, but he was 'scared to death'" because of his age and the male's size, police wrote. Ludwig said he never really knew what his grandfather's social and political views were when he was younger but said Lester had become consumed with watching conservative news outlets and following conspiracy theories built on misinformation.
