Trick or Treat.

A 12 year boy was shot and fatally wounded while tricker treating with his parents and siblings. The South Carolina youth was killed when they knocked on the door and the occupants of the house opened fire with an AK-47. The shooter was arrested at the scene. The boy's father and another child were also struck by bullets through the door. The man responsible for the shooting told police that he had been robbed before and was afraid that is was another robbery attempt...on Halloween? He also had his porch light on which is usually a signal to trick or treaters to stop by. This is terrifying. The family never saw anything like that coming.. my sympathy goes to them. What started as a fun night of trick or treating with the family turned out to be a horrifying tragedy that will change their lives forever. It's so scary to think that something like this could happen anywhere... even in Durango. Nobody expected that man to do anything like that. You shouldn't have to be afraid to go trick or treating in the neighborhood you live in....
