Needless to say, never open the door. Wait until the police arrive.
How horrible that the Good Samaritan’s kindness was used against him by this person.
Via Daily Mail:
A 69-year-old Minnesota man has been shot dead after opening his door to a man who claimed he was being chased.
Thomas Sonnenberg called 911 at 11:46am Friday for 20-year-old Devon Derrick Parker who police say told him he was being pursued by assailants with baseball bats.
When police arrived at the home on the 3700 block of North Aldrich Avenue in north Minneapolis, they found Sonnenberg dead.
Parker was apprehended inside the house.
‘He was shot in the head,’ said the victim’s brother, Darrell Sonnenberg told the Star Tribune.
According to police spokesperson John Elder, there is some indication that Parker and Sonnenberg were acquaintances.
However, Sonnenberg ‘seems like an innocent victim. From all indications, this is not a bad guy, a drug deal gone wrong, or anything like that,’ Elder told the Star Tribune.
