Yet another ding dong ditch has ended in a fatality after an 11-year-old boy was shot in Houston this past Sunday.
For the few who are uninitiated, ding dong ditch is a game whereby mostly children ring the bell of a neighbor and dash away before they get to the door. It’s a game that goes as far back as the technology of house bells itself. Doorbell cams might have upped the ante on what kind of shenanigans you can pull off on someone’s doorstep, but nothing quite measures up to the thrill of almost getting caught as you run from the door you just rang. Well, now there’s a disturbingly growing trend of homeowners actually shooting the children who ring their bells.
