Teen ‘Grave’ After Being Shot In The Eye Through Front Door Peephole

View Comments

CLEVELAND (CBS Cleveland) – Three men were arrested after a 16-year-old boy was reportedly shot in the eye while looking through the peephole of his front door, leaving him fighting for life.

The teen is the latest target of senseless violence in Cleveland, and CBS affiliate WOIO in Cleveland reports it seems like it’s another case of retaliation and payback.

The shooting happened Monday night as police were responding to a call about men with guns on Denison and W. 95th Streets. The officers and witnesses reportedly heard the gunfire, and authorities said it came from the 16-year-old being shot in the head. Sources told WOIO he was shot through the eye through the peephole of the front door to his house.

Sources also told WOIO that the home has been burglarized before. Someone from the house reportedly fired shots at the people that they suspected of trying to break in. Later in the day the house was on the receiving end of more bullets.

Police confirmed that three men in their 20s were arrested in connection to the shooting. Security video from the bar across the street, Andy’s Hot Spot, may have helped the police put the pieces together quickly.

Condition of the shooting victim was considered grave when he was transported to the MetroHealth center.

    What are the descriptions of the “alleged” perps?

    • T. Patrick

      “Youths” I bet.

  • bob w

    What color were the three men that were arrested
    oh don’t tell me let me guess, they were three white youths who are studying to be priests coming home from church services

  • Johnathon Hemlock

    Maybe in the future, a would-be peeping tom will stop to consider the possible ramifications of his actions.

  • Scaley MacKerel

    Peepholes will kill you.

  • walter12

    These people are insane and out of their minds. Their life and all those around them mean nothing. What do you do with such (people)? Most of your inner portions of all the big cities in this nation are uninhabitable.

  • sara

    I am so sorry for this kid! It seems like such a senseless act. But there are more and more…and there will be more and more, unfortunately! Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery!

    • CBS Government News

      One doesn’t recover from a bullet through the eye into the brain directly behind. If these perps are found guilty after a fair trial they should be lynched in the town square and left swinging for a week as a warning to others.

      • sam

        And after they are lynched their parents should be deported and their homes burned to the ground.

        PARENTS: If you can’t keep your children in line, then KEEP YOUR LEGS SHUT OR DROWN THEM AT BIRTH.

      • Texas Tom

        I agree, we need more public hangings of the worst. Their bodies to need to swing, at least for a couple of days, and be brought down before the head is pulled off the body.

      • Joe B.

        Police need to start shooting the thugs that run, and the DAs need to ask for the death penalty for everyone they arrest and proven guilty of causing death or permanent bodily harm to an innocent victim.

    • Bob

      african, non-american trash. What they are doing is terrorism.

    • jimjim

      Speedy reocvery? uh…no. This kid will be affected for life if he even lives.

  • Leroy

    So it begins. Anarchy grows, as the Obama economic “miracle” takes hold.

    • Mikey

      Philly, Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, all these cities need their own Rudy Giuliani, who cleaned up New York when he was mayor. Personally, I don’t understand how people can be so violent. We need God back in the schools. Only a couple of generations without Him in there and look at the results. I don’t care if you disagree with me. People have no morals. They need to learn them somewhere. It sure as hell isn’t happening at home.

      • Spanky

        I live near Chicago.

        Cook County and the City of Chicago have been completely controlled by Democrats for over 60 years. Crime is high, schools are terrible, and corruption is very common. Public employee pension funds are going broke.

        Chicago is the most segregated of all major US cities, leading to suffering by minorities.

        That’s what decades of Dem control does.

      • Lipstick

        You are so right.

      • sueinmi

        The NEA can take some blame here. Feds dangle carrots and then force schools to teach ridiculous, divisive brainwashing crap. Precisely why Democrats will never advocate vouchers…they wouldn’t be able to teach the gay agenda, the abortion agenda (via safe sex), the global warming agenda, etc. The schools are to be run by states, according to the 10th Amendment, but money talks. Vote for those who support school vouchers FOR EVERYONE..not just for Obama’s or Emanual’s kids.

      • Bawanna

        Cant expect the schools of all places to take up where families leave off. Look at all the teachers that have been having sex with their students and cheating on their own promotion tests and doing drugs. You are right that we need God back in our lives but I bet he has had it too.

      • Eric

        Giuliania didn’t clean up New York. The reduction in crime in New York started about a dozen years after the CIty began making abortions freely available. The overwhelming majoirty of women who took advantage of the free abortions were black and hispanic. New York cleaned up the streets by a process of good old-fashioned eugenics. They simply killed off the biggest troublemakers…..poor minorities…..before they could be born.

      • riko

        VERY WELL STATED!

      • Kevin

        Eric, you are incorrect. Abortions numbers have only increased since then, and so has crime. Thus your hypothesis that murdering babies reduces crime is wrong.

      • Chris

        If morals do improve, then Michael Moore won’t be able to make millions on his movies and blame firearms, the ease of getting them and Charlton Heston. You want to ruin the guy? He needs travesties to exist you know?

      • John

        That wouldn’t make sense anyway, Eric. Crime dropped off about a dozen years after abortions were available? So what, the city of NY was plagued with 12 year old criminals? It would take 50 years of abortions to decrease crime rate and that is of course if you kill off the criminals—which there’s no possible way of knowing who they’d be.
        Dumb Ass!!

      • Spanky

        sueinmi said: “The NEA can take some blame here. Feds dangle carrots and then force schools to teach ridiculous, divisive brainwashing crap. ”

        Uh, the NEA does not choose curriculum, textbooks, lesson plans, or teacher qualifications. Those are up to the states and school districts. We conservatives often grossly overstate the impact of the NEA.

        The NEA is a union, it is not a federal agency.

        Maybe you’re thinking of the Dept of Ed.

      • Jon in Georgia

        The violent crime rate has fallen despite high unemployment. See this link and research other sites for yourself. http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm

        This “moral bankrupting” is nothing more than a myth prepetuated by fear and a lazy assumption that your own biases stand as truth.

        Wake up and respect facts.

        that Gregson-Williams never copied maeirtal from LWWs soundtrack for Prince Caspian. I have listened to both soundtracks literally scores of times and can say without a doubt that Gregson-Williams directly copied music tracks from the first film. In some places, he remixed or reorchestrated the music. But no, in Prince Caspian, he did indeed copy and paste a lot of stuff where he could have simply developed the themes he wanted to use. And by the way, David Arnold did use a track from the previous films: To Aslans Camp, from LWW. It plays sometime after the destruction of Dark Island, and is in fact credited near the end of the films credits along with the other music. All the other uses of the Heroic Theme or as Arnold incorrectly called it, the Narnia Theme, were different, and well developed in my opinion. If Arnold had used the other themes written by Gregson-Williams, I think this soundtrack would have been amazing, with a lot of theme development. As for the Dawn Treader theme, I agree that it wasnt used enough. Considering the fact that its the Main Theme of this movie, it didnt have the biggest role.

    • ItsJo

      This, is EXACTLY what Obama wants-”American Spring”, so that during riots he
      can declare Marshall Law and REMAIN President-even THROUGH the upcoming
      elections. This guy instigated the “Arab Spring” in the middle east, and we saw the rioting there, as he wanted HIS brethern-The Muslim Brotherhood to TAKE OVER—This guy is transparent as he seeks a “Dictatorship where he’s POTUS for LIFE.

      • Eagle1495

        Just because he wants “Martial” Law doesn’t mean it will happen. Each state has it’s own National Guard with their governor as Commander In Chief”. The military would only take charge (habeas corpus suspended) until the local and state police and governments can regain control.

      • Doctor Bendova

        Eagle1495, you better go study up on National Guard control a bit! Governors no longer control their NG anymore which is why most are overseas playing in Federal Adventurism. Study up on the real reason WHY the Fed took so long to move into New Orleans post Katrina. Louisanna being one of the very few last states with a Governor controlled NG, she REFUSED to turn over control of her NG to the Feds so they punished her. The only men with arms left in any state are those individuals that cling to their right and watch socialism unfold under the banner of Democracy!
        May God have mercy upon us all…

      • krp

        Doctor, the reason the Feds took so long into moving into New Orleans is because the Hurricane hit elsewhere, so the Feds went to the spot where the hurricane actually hit, which was Grande Isle, Louisiana, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
        Typical Liberals with typical Liberal short memory, but I distinctly recall that we were told that New Orleans had been spared the brunt of Katrina. The levees did not break until Tuesday afternoon more than 24 hours after Katrina had passed the area and the Feds were by then deeply entrenched in the areas that had been obliterated by Katrina rather than just a few people too stupid to evacuate holed up in a stadium.

        Also there was a audio of the stupid governor, Democrat of course, that was questioning whether or not she should call in the National Guard.

        Not to mention the fact that so many Liberals were telling us that the National Guard in Louisiana were short handed because too many of them were overseas in Iraq. So either they were lying then, or you are re-writing history now.

      • jimjim

        The country is all but on its knees now. People need to look closely at what our lovely Prez studied. all the sitting and listening to the preaching where he went is indeed how he is acting. Can anyone even tell us what this man does every day other than try and promote himself or vacation? No one is at the wheel for america other than the other branches of government thank goodness.

      • Ming the Merciless

        WTF??? “Marshall law”???

        It is MARTIAL law, or military law…i.e. shoot the fuckers on sight!

      • Casper

        Martial law.

      • Jon in Georgia

        Is there a schred of evidence for this??? Or just your scary, offensive, and uninformed assumptions?

        Patrick is an Obama tea-bagger, your first step Patrick to move up from imbecile to moron is to take Barry’s salty, sweaty bean bag out of your mouth and start thinking for yourself.

        Cool. You win the award for the most unreasonable comment of the week. Into my scrapbook you go! (I thought the award was going to a comment I saw on Monday, but you blew him out of the water. This is a strong candidate for the best of the year…)

    No mention of race, so they must be African Americans shooting a white person.

    Typical of the Politically Correct media.

    • SD

      There’s nothing ‘African’ about them. Just American trash.

      • bob w

        I think you mean there’s nothing American about them just African trash
        regardless of what you mean
        I think they were picked from the trees before they were ripe

      • Patrick

        No, just immature trash

      • SUPER16

        SOOOOO correct bob w. You nailed that one.

      • krp

        I wouldn’t use the word “African” or “American”. The proper word to be used would probably get me banned from this site.

    • Spanky

      If you look at people walking along the streets using Google street view, it does not appear to be black at all.

      • doc

        three blacks arrested, all adults

      • Tommy

        Look again foo! Several blacks are walking down the streets of a rundown neighborhood. Blacks are emboldened by the Obamy administration to get away with this kind of violence….maybe even encouraged

      • Marbran

        This is a predominantly white neighborhood.

    • doc

      exactly!

      • doc

        yeah follow the link, no race mentioned = black

    • Ed

      You can only describe them as young people or youths now days.

      • jimjim

        Time to return fire. those bastards.

    This and the black and brown mob in Philly that busted into a white guy’s home and hit him with a pipe and punched him in the eye. Didn’t know until I read that story that Philly is majority black.

    You’d have to be brain dead not to realize there will be riots when Obama loses in 2012.

    Arm and prepare yourselves now or leave the cities all together when the time comes.

      I’m afraid this is true, especially since it was leaked that Obama is going to play the Race Card big time…

      • Casper

        Going to play race card? You mean ‘continue’.

    • Patrick

      Riots? Americans are far too lazy to be rioting unless there’s nothing good on TV

      • Bombastic

        Don’t worry. it’s the “Teen mobs” who will be getting slayed by us Americans. Be warned. Stock up now or be ready to roll out of the way when the time comes.

      • maxbll

        I agree. Plus half of the idiots who complain about the black mobs will still vote for Obama because their unions told them to.

    • sam

      Welcome to the revolution

    • Jon in Georgia

      So much fear. Fear and laziness.

      Whatever erosion of morals you are referencing is not real – it is manufactured in order to scare you into buying things. So go buy your guns….and consider how much money the NRA has given to congressmen this year. Go on, look it up. Some people have a vested interest in you being a scared piece of old, white fear. So I suggest you stop it and wake up. Wake up.

  • Joe Blow

    Bust the Government Union Scum

    • Spanky

      Unions have chased more jobs overseas than any other single factor.

      • Patrick

        Spanky you have swallowed the corporate delusional line completely. It isn’t the unions that send jobs overseas it’s the greedy un-American corporations or the uh, “job creators” that have been doing this for years. Stop parroting what you hear on Fox and do actual research and then “think” as that will serve you far better.

      • ObamAA+

        Patrick’s idea of research is staying glued to MSNBC and parroting back everything he hears.

      • dudefromdixie

        For Patrick, again. Man you are on a roll idiot. If you own a company and can make something in China for 1/10 the cost to make it here, what are you going to do? You are so friggin clueless about the world, I bet you only come out at night when there is a full moon. You can blame the liberal foreign policies of our government but don’t blame the companies. Go wash your brain out with soap.

      • Casper

        Patrick. You are a prime example of the failed public school system. I’ll bet my bottom dollar that you don’t even know who impregnated your mother. Ironically, you make the case for unfettered abortion. Luckily, you will be among the first casualties in the upcoming war.

      • Jon in Georgia

        Everyone beating up on Patrick….please consider that policies can be made to encourage companies to keep jobs here. Cutting of payroll taxes, offering incentives to create jobs. Businesses only respond to monetary incentive. Policies can also be made to get large American companies to be patriotic and pay their share of taxes.

        However, any attempt to do this by the administration has been blocked by a stubborn (and “bought and paid for” congress). This is the reason we continue to see decline in a once thriving middle class…..

        Remember the boom times (50′s?? 90′s???). The unions, although not perfect by any strectch of the imagination, worked towards “industrial democracy” in those times….and OUR COUNTRY THRIVED!

      I live in TX. Nobody shoots first and asks questions later. Why do people always say this about TX?

      • Patrick

        Probably because of people like idiotdubi who blathers without thinking. Since Texas was the state that gave us W that mortally wounded America & now that creepy Parry I didn’t think there was a functioning brian cell in all of Texas.

        I totally agree with you.–They DON’T ask questions later.

    Lotta yankee, racist crap happening in Obama Country.

    Wonder why? (oh yeah…he’s a RACIST prez-in-chief)

    • No Surrender Belfast

      Don’t forget the traitor and racist, Eric Holder at the U.S. Dept. of ‘Just Us.’ He needs to be arrested for dereliction of duty and failing to uphold the Constitution and thrown in a cage with his kind. I hope I live to see that.

    If the black americans in this country want to riot when obumbo is detroned, it might be a good time to elect Herman Cain, they can’t say america is racist…just them.

    • voxanator

      We should keep electing blacks until they get it right.

    • We Love The Jungle Deep

      I could get behind a Herman Cain/Ron Paul ticket with Peter Schiff for Treasury Secretary and Judge Napoitano as head of the justice dept.

      • sam

        nice ticket

    • http://resistthelies.wordpress.com RTL

      As a conservative black man, Herman Cain could call the fake racist bs and explain to these folks that socialism is not the answer to the black problem.

      • PabloKoh

        One man can not undo the decades of minority community leaches and their violent socialist rhetoric. You want to start peace in these communities legalize all recreational drugs and get the money(power) out of the hands of the local thugs.
