“It’s created this narrative that if you’re ever in trouble, you can’t stop and ask a homeowner for assistance in case you’re shot,' said college law professor, S. David Mitchell. Shooting of teen who rang wrong doorbell unsettles Kansas City:

“I am, I think, sufficiently frightened over how easily we are willing to shoot each other,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat who previously served as the first Black mayor of Kansas City. Paul Yarl, Ralph’s father, said this week that his son, an athlete who loves music and video games, had surgery over the weekend to remove the bullets and was able to walk out of the hospital on Sunday. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Lester told a police officer after the shooting that he saw a Black male “pulling on the exterior storm door handle.” This was one of the few areas of disagreement: When interviewed by a detective, Ralph said that he only rang the doorbell and did not pull on the door. The two were startled by a bang on the front door; fearful that someone was trying to break in, they called 911. The operator, Dovel said, told them that there was a gunman on the loose and that they should stay inside.
The shooting happened near the northern edge of Kansas City, a sprawling municipality that is larger in size than New York City though its population is far smaller. Dan Fowler, a City Council member whose district includes the shooting scene, said there was a broad sense of relief in Kansas City that charges had been filed and that the suspect was in custody.
