Yarl, who is Black, mistakenly approached the home of Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old white man, while attempting to pick up his two younger brothers, according to police. Upon seeing Yarl at his front door, Lester shot him twice — once in the head and once in the arm after the teen had fallen to the ground.
Yarl, who survived the shooting, was discharged from a hospital on Sunday evening after undergoing surgery over the weekend. A White House official stated that President Joe Biden spoke with Yarl and his family on Monday as he begins his road to recovery.
