Question about the “honor student” shot in Missouri after going to the wrong house to pick up his younger twin brothers: Was this the first time he ever went to visit them? I haven’t seen anything about that in the reporting. If it was his first time then the story is believable. If not, then why was he at the wrong house? When I go to pick up my brother I know the house he lives in.

Just asking. Why was that kid “at the wrong house”? It just does not seem believable.
