No charges have been filed, and authorities believe the homeowner acted in lawful self-defense under Georgia’s “stand your ground” laws.
One family member may have said it best: “That’s not how it’s supposed to go.” Teenagers shouldn’t find themselves in dangerous situations like this.
The homeowner, who is reportedly heartbroken over what happened, was placed in a situation where he had to defend himself and his loved ones.
Now, he must live with the burden of that night — a consequence of actions that began with a deeply unfortunate decision by the young suspects.
