Teen suspect shot by North Hills homeowner
A 17-year-boy suspected of burglarizing a car was wounded Monday morning by a North Hills homeowner who mistook a tool for a handgun, police said.
A 46-year old man saw three people around 12:30 a.m. removing wheels from his vehicle in the area of Gledhill Street and Gloria Avenue and shot at them, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Norma Eisenman.
One of the suspects, a 17-year-old male, was wounded and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was reported to have stable vital signs, Eisenman said.
A tool the teen was holding may have been mistaken for a handgun, according to a report from the scene.
Two other suspects ran away were not immediately apprehended, police said.

At least the young thug will spend more time in a hospital room than he would have in a catch-and-release Los Angeles jail cell.

Wrong victim and suspect, surprise. Thanks for the links Gun Bunny.

Bet Swets is swet-ing in hell by now.
You ain’t Mickey Mantle, and you ain’t “at bat”. At least not anymore.
The mighty Swets struck out.
The is no joy in Thugville…
Take him to the farm, he’s a Swet-hog.
(Or was that “Welcome Back Cotter”?)
Some sweat hoggin’ mama with a face like a gent, said my get up and go must have got up and went !!!
Aerosmith, 197- something…
Part of that dates further to Pete Seeger

I used to do his tax work back when he was living in the D.C. area.
“One of the suspects, a 17-year-old male, was wounded”
Be fiiting if he was hit in nut sack. He will be called lugnuts from now on.
Well to be fair, bat dude is a victim. Of his own poor choices. The penalty for that has been applied.
Working on his car with a bat? AI writes better than that.
Attacked in OK with a bat? No Swets iffins one is packing.
That Henry might be a nice addition to the arsenal, if I had such a thing.
Never handled a lever action shotgun.
The photo looks to be a 12 Ga. but the article says .410 Ga.
Makes me wonder, is there a 12 ga lever action out there? Now THAT would be interesting.
Easy enough to find out, if’n I had the get up & go to look. Mebbe later…..
Winchester had a couple in the late 1800s, 1887 and 1901 models. Believe you can see an example in ‘Terminator 2’.
Reproduction 1887s are for sale. Some folksvuse them in Cowboy Action Shooting matches.
Such guns often have a “drop two” modification, where the shooter can put two shells at a time in the action. However this mod prevents loading the magazine.
The lever throw on an 1887 is rather long, so the guns are not very fast. But a good shooter can still run them quick, just not quite as fast as a double or an 1897 pump gun.
They are a hoot.
.410. With some work, many .45s can be tweaked to run .410 shells.
That Henry Repeater in the photo is beautiful!
I didn’t know they were making them in .410
