Two shootings in separate states of young people who mistakenly showed up at the wrong houses in two separate states have drawn national attention — and could renew the debate over the rights of those seeking to protect their property.

Here’s everything we know about the two cases culled from our original reporting and Yahoo News’ partner network, including the USA Today, NBC News and Kansas City Star., a 16-year-old Black boy, was shot in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday night after he rang the doorbell to a home where he believed he was to pick up his two siblings.

"While they were leaving the residence once they determined that they were at the wrong house, the subject came out on his porch for whatever reason and fired two shots, one of which struck the vehicle that Kaylin was in,"As was the case in Kansas City, Murphy said there appeared to be no interaction between the group and Monahan before the shots were fired.

"There was clearly no threat from anyone in the vehicle," Murphy added."There was no reason for Mr. Monahan to feel threatened."‘You can’t just shoot people who come to your door’
