Teen goes to see girlfriend but is met at door by stepfather and shotguns

A 16-year-old had planned to see his girlfriend on Sunday afternoon. But, according to deputies, her stepfather doesn't like him, and the visit didn't go as planned.

When the teenager arrived at his girlfriend's Apopka home around 4 p.m., he saw two men — his girlfriend's stepfather and her stepfather's friend — each with a shotgun, according to Orange County Sheriff's Office. The dauntless teen pulled the barrel of the gun to his face and said he was not scared, according to deputies.

New meaning to shotgun wedding.

Yes, journalism and news reporting isn't the same as it was a while back. Good quality writing is hard to find.

Tighter requirements and screening for step father's

Tighter requirements and screening for step father's

Maybe they still believe in shotgun weddings .Or perhaps dad wanted the boyfriend to help pay for the abortion .

At any rate tighter screening for boyfriends

That is exactly what I thought when I read this. Guy with his finger on the trigger and dead guy pulls it towards him causing shotgun to discharge.

But like they say; don't aim at it if you don't intend to kill it.

If the teen was black and the stepfather was black, no foul. If the teen was black and the stepfather was white, teen caused his own death. If teen was white and stepfather was black, stepfather is cold blooded killer. If both were white, it didn't happen.
