IS THIS ANOTHER CASE OF STANDING ONES GROUND? YOU DECIDE. In a report on this story from National Public Radio (NPR) it states “Police received a 911 call from Wafer about 4:42 a.m., in which he tells the dispatcher: I just shot somebody on my front porch with a shotgun, banging on my door. “They found McBrides body on the porch.” He could see her; he opened the front door; kept the screen door locked then he shot her in the face. He called the police after he killed her! Michigan Homeowner Charged in Woman’s Death DETROIT — A suburban Detroit homeowner was formally charged on Friday with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Renisha Marie McBride, a 19-year-old woman who was shot in the face with a shotgun as she stood on the man’s porch in the middle of the night nearly two weeks ago. One of his lawyers, Mack L. Carpenter, pledged to mount “a strong defense.” Much remains unclear about what happened in the early morning hours of Nov. 2, when Ms. McBride, who was black, crashed her car and hours later ended up on the doorstep of Mr. Wafer, who is white. Mr. Wafer has told the police that he believed Ms. McBride had been trying to break in. The prosecutor said that there was no sign that Ms. McBride had sought to gain entry to Mr. Wafer’s house, but that he had opened the front door and fired a shot through a locked screen door that struck Ms. McBride in the face. Ms. McBride was not armed. nytimes/2013/11/16/us/michigan-homeowner-charged-in-renisha-mcbrides-death.html?hp=&adxnnl=1&target=comments&adxnnlx=1384555262-22qogEsrLP08FRL59oi4+w
