White man who shot Ralph Yarl, Black teen who went to wrong house, will stand trial: Judge
A Missouri judge has ruled that an 84-year-old white man will stand trial for shooting Ralph Yarl, a Black teen who went to the man’s house by mistake. Judge Louis Angles ruled Thursday that there was sufficient evidence to bind Andrew Lester over on charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the April 13 shooting. Lester previously pleaded not guilty. At a hearing Thursday, police officers testified Lester was a frightened elderly man who “hoped he didn’t kill anybody.” The case shocked the country and renewed national debates about gun policies and race in America. Lester is scheduled to be back in court for arraignment on Sept. 20.

Four months after Ralph Yarl was shot in the head when he went to the wrong house, the Black teenager has started his senior year of high school. Next week, the man accused of shooting him will be in court. Yarl’s aunt, Faith Spoonmore, told the Kansas City Star that the 17-year-old was ready to be back to school. Although healing from his traumatic brain injury, Yarl completed an engineering internship this summer and is looking ahead to college visits this fall. Eighty-four-year-old Andrew Lester faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 31. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

#RalphYarl says he's suffering lingering effects from being shot in the head
Gaurav Vaidya“I hear the door open. I see this old man and I’m assuming, 'Oh, this must be like their grandpa,' and then he pulls out his gun and I’m like, whoa! … So I back up. He points it at me. So I kind of like, brace and I turn my head. I’m thinking, there’s no way he’s actually going to shoot, right? The door (isn’t) even open. He’s going to shoot through his glass door and glass is going get everywhere? And then it happened.” #RalphYarl
