By now you’ve certainly heard about the shooting of Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old who went to pick up his younger brothers but mistakenly walked up to the wrong house. His brothers were on 115th Street and Yarl mistakenly went to 115th Terrace. When he rang the bell, 84-year-old homeowner Andrew Lester fired his gun through the door hitting Ralph twice including once in the head. He was hospitalized and, fortunately, survived the attack. His story immediately became national news. Ralph Yarl is black and Andrew Lester is white.
