Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old man from Kansas City, has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action after he allegedly shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, who mistakenly showed up at his address to pick up his siblings. A report from the New York Times suggests that Lester had a history of violence during his 14-year marriage to his ex-wife Mary Clayton. Clayton, who had not spoken to Lester in decades, said she was "always scared" of him and that he was prone to anger and violent outbursts. She added that police officers had told her he could do whatever he wanted in his own home. Meanwhile, Lester's grandson, Klint Ludwig, has expressed his support for Yarl and his family, calling the shooting "horrifying," "inexcusable," and "wrong." Yarl's attorney, civil rights lawyer Lee Merritt, provided an optimistic update on the teenager's condition, which he described as a "WALKING MIRACLE with a head of steel." Yarl, who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the shooting, is expected to make a full recovery over time.
