Man Fatally Guns Down 13-Year-Old Boy For Laughing At Him

Posted by | October 25, 2014 18:45 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


A 13-year-old boy was shot nine times by a Gary, Indiana, man after he felt the boy was laughing at him. Koby Jone was killed by a neighbor who was upset after his house was burglarized, then became enraged when the teen laughed at him, according to police.

Kobe Jones died of multiple gunshot wounds near his home and was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:31 p.m. on Friday, the Lake County coroner’s office reported.

According to the Post-Tribune, Lt. Thomas Pawlak said the homeowner returned home about 5:00 p.m. to learn of the burglary, which occurred about 12:30 p.m.. The unidentified man stood outside his house yelling. That drew the attention of  some of his neighbors including the boy.

When the man saw the teen laughing at him, he pulled out a gun, then shot the boy nine times, police said.

Pawlak said the man and his girlfriend fled the scene in a car but returned about 7:00 p.m. The couple was arrested and they are being held at the city jail, pending charges being filed against them.

    Loud music, popcorn throwing, door banging, skittles carrying, cigar stealing, and now mocking…

      To tell the truth, I’m not absolutely sure what to take away from this story. While it’s easy to see the similarity between this case and the other to which you allude, I also find myself wondering what kind of person laughs in the face of someone who is obviously distraught over a burglary.

        Could it be that the robbed homeowner was making an asshat of himself (which I’m going to go out on a limb and say he was usually an asshat), and the kid was the closest/youngest/laughed the loudest/etc….etc…..etc………

          I ask again: who laughs in the face of someone who is obviously distraught? I don’t profess to know what the particulars in this case actually are–and I’m certainly not attempting to justify a shooting. I simply ask whether is there is more to this story than just another crazed gun nut killing an innocent child. I think the facts presented here suggest that there is more. No decent person will laugh in the face of someone who is obviously distraught.

I don’t seek to justify the shooting but it is not beyond the realm of possiblity that the kid–and other neighbors–at least knew who had committed the act.

    mocking kids should be shot and then shot again. it should be legal to blow their heads off.

    all mockers actually. adult mockers too. nothing more likely to enrage.

    This is never going to end. A gun mentality breeds violence. Gun violence is so deeply imbedded into our society it has become an out of control cancer. The NRA…gun lobbyists..and gun manufacturers are totally responsible for these shootings. The NRA’s payoffs of politicians continues unabated which means no sensible gun legislation will ever be passed. Peace loving citizens have been muzzled and have no say in the crisis. We have become an apathetic society numbed by the violence. We will have more school shootings…more Trayvon Martins and Michael Browns…and God knows what else to look forward to and the world watches as America crumbles under the weight of our so called “right to bear arms”….

    The NRA looks at this murder and laughs. This is what they want – an irrational out of control group of supporters with guns who murder on a whim.
