    Brent Metz is accused of shooting a 17-year-old in the face after the teenager trespassed on a property to find a homeowner and inquire about taking homecoming photos there. (Jackson County Sheriffs Office)

    Trespassing? So walking to someones door looking for the owner of the house is now Trespassing? Wtf

      Not a lawyer. By the letter of the law, yes.

      They had to jump the fence - presumably the gate was secured - in order to get to the house. Further, they walked around the property looking for the owner. This looks to anyone without more knowledge, very much like trespassing.

      Just my 2 cents, I’m not trying to defend or accuse anyone.
