<div dir="ltr">Wouldn't the parents of the individuals who drove around shooting the gun off be a more appropriate legal target? If the individuals who actually did the shooting cannot be identified, how can it be proved that these individuals were an invitee or guest of anyone at the house? Personally, I think targeting the parents of the "house party" sounds like a real stretch unless they are added as defendants with the parents of the kids who drove around shooting the gun off. <div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 20, 2021 at 5:31 PM Steve DeShazo <<a href="mailto:steve.deshazo@isolahomes.com">steve.deshazo@isolahomes.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">This may be off-topic but perhaps not. A teenage child (a junior or senior in high school) had a party while the child's parents were away for the evening. The parents knew there would be ten or
so friends coming over while they were out. However, the party quickly grew out of control through texting and other means, attracting a hundred or more partygoers, some of whom were quite unsavory. There was alcohol and drug use, racing through the neighborhood,
and approaching midnight a vehicle left the party and an occupant of the vehicle shot a firearm randomly - a dozen or more rounds - some of which struck a nearby neighbor's home while its occupants were present. No one was physically hurt but they were traumatized,
and the bullets caused substantial property damage to the home. The perpetrator has yet to be identified or apprehended, but there is video showing the vehicle leaving the cul-de-sac and recording the sound of the shots being fired.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
