Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager who was shot after he went to the wrong house while trying to pick up his siblings last week, is replaying the situation over and over as he recovers, his mother told 'CBS Mornings.'
She said that as Yarl recovers at home he is"surrounded by a team of medical professionals" including herself, a nurse of almost 20 years, and his aunt and uncle.
"He went and rang the doorbell. And he was supposed to stay outside, and his brothers were supposed to run outside, get in the car and they come home," Nagbe said."While he was standing there, his brothers didn't run outside, but he got a couple of bullets in his body instead of a couple of twins coming up, out, and giving him a hug."Yarl, 84-year-old Andrew D. Lester, has been charged with assault in the first degree and armed criminal action.
Lee Merritt, who represents Ralph Yarl and his family, told"CBS Mornings" they want to know more about Lester and his mindset, and that his age will be a consideration in terms of what he thought leading into the shooting.
