Yesterday's story of self-defense was from Spanish Fort, Alabama. Today we have an update, of a sort. “There are two sides to every story”: Father of teen shot in Spanish Fort speaks out
He entered a home without invitation, without knocking. He got shot, and ended up in intensive care. His father has thoughts.
The teen’s dad says he thinks his son walked to the wrong house thinking it was his friend’s house.
“It’s my thoughts and beliefs he was going to look in the window and open his friend’s window and fell through it. I don’t believe he would ever break into someone’s home,” he said.
It does seem like there may have been some substances involved.
“Based on the initial investigation, we believe he was under the influence of some substance- we’re not sure exactly what all that could be,” said Chief Barber.
Spanish Fort, Alabama is directly across Mobile Bay from Mobile, Alabama, or about a 9 mile drive east of downtown Mobile on Interstate 10.
The teen’s father says while he doesn’t condone his son’s actions of underage drinking, he’s convinced his son would not intentionally break in to someone’s home.
Whether he was high or drunk and ended up in the wrong house, or high/drunk and was breaking in, or not high and breaking in, is all the same from my perspective. He posed a threat - a reasonable threat - and needed to be dealt with. He was shot one time by the homeowner.
And this didn't happen in New York City, but in Alabama.
