leadership? our top story is the tale of two stories. first the case of a 16-year-old kansas city teen. he rang a doorbell to pick up his brother but he was at the wrong house. the homeowner claimed he was in fear for his life seeing someone he thought was trying to break in. so he armed himself and fired shots. lester has been charged with assault as investigators try to figure out what exactly led up to the shooting. then you have the 20-year-old from upstate new york who was killed after she pulled into the wrong driveway. she was on her way to a party. but instead her life was cut short by a suspect who started shooting from her front porch. the only one getting the attention of the biden administration. there may be a racial motive but we don t know. caelyn s funeral was yesterday. but nobody even called the family. one running the wrong doorbell and the other only pulled up to a house. where is the equity they preach about. kellyanne conway thanks for joining me tonight
