A 15-year old boy campaigning door-to-door for U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) was shot by a 42-year old man through the front door, according to Savannah Police who claim "there is no indication the shooting was politically motivated."

The man was arrested after police responded to the shooting on Thursday around 5:35 PM, "and discovered a 15-year-old male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg."

His injuries are not life threatening.

"According to the preliminary investigation, the teen was campaigning for Raphael Warnock for the upcoming run-off election when the incident occurred. While at the front door of one of the residences on Hartridge Street, the suspect fired a shot through the closed door, striking the teen," according to the Savannah Police statement.

The 42-year old man "was booked into the Chatham County jail on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery."

1. Omg I hope he will be ok

I would never go door to door I don’t even like doing the phone calls and stopped doing that.

Not politically motivated is kind of hard to believe.

2. Why the fuck not attempted murder?

[calimary]

9. And why wouldn't this be politically motivated?

Nobody shot the mailman or a package-delivery person.

[Orrex]

10. Right?

If they're so certain that it wasn't politically motivated attempted murder, I'd like to hear why they think the asshole shot through his door at a child.

Also: If a black man had shot through his door at a cop, do you think that there would be any hesitation to call it attempted murder? (Of course, the shooter in that case would be dead long before the story went to press)

[calimary]

11. Yep. Sadly so.

16. could be racial, could be paranoia

15 year old boy...

15 year old **black** boy

random kid knocking on a mentally disturbed person's door.


Who knows?

But nothing is going to happen - he'll get off for "defending" his castle. *barf*

3. Lawsuit.

7. I hope it was a nice house

because the kid is going to own it.

12. It's just a basic house.

4. He shot thru a closed door? Just what was his motivation?

Too many damn guns in the wrong hands. Too many damn guns. Period.

20. Totally Negates Self-Defense As A Defense

There will be no getting out from under this one for him. If the door was closed, there was no threat, so there can be no self-defense. But you can expect Faux News to start with the "he had something in his pocket he was trying to pull out" stories, or the, "he was a bad student and frequently disrespectful" stories any day now. I guarantee that they're feverishly looking for a way to blame the victim at this very second. Particularly if the kid was a minority.

21. Remember one of those stories

Remember that Indian child who was taken away for some trumped up charge and they actually said he was sent home in 4th grade. The family ended up leaving the country.

5. Race, Politics, or Both?

6. Poor thing.. glad he's

going to be alright.

[BOSSHOG]

8. Rupert Murdoch will step forward and do the right thing

By funding any and all medical care the boy needs because of the spokesmen of his monstrous machine. Dont lose sleep. Rupert is a comfortable cesspool.

17. "Rupert Murdoch will step forward and do the right thing"

I'm sorry, you seem to have dropped this, /s.

[BigmanPigman]

13. Why isn't this an attempted murder charge?

[iluvtennis]

14. WTF is wrong with people. Just tell the door knocker that you're not

interested and to please leave you in peace. No need to shoot anyone. So glad it was in the kid’s leg.

[dchill]

15. Politically motivated.

The End.

Roll credits.

[JHB]

18. Narrator: It was, in fact, politically and racially motivated.

[SYFROYH]

19. Well damn. This is my town.

The shooting happened in a marginal part of the downtown area. It's a house divided into rental apartments. At 5:30 it's still twilight this time of year.

Jimmy Paiz is lucky he didn't kill this kid.

22. Odd decision..watch out girl scouts, mormons and others who go door to door

[sellitman]

23. Where is the attempted murder charge?

WTF?
