Frisco Teens' ding-dong-ditch leads to Gunfire and Arrest:

A late-night doorbell prank in a Frisco neighborhood escalated into gunfire last month, leaving three teens' car hit with bullet holes and a homeowner facing felony charges.
 
Police said 58-year-old Damon Wolfe was arrested after he allegedly opened fire on a vehicle carrying teens who admitted to playing "ding-dong-ditch" on July 28 in the 6500 block of Scottsdale Way.
 
Investigators said Wolfe told officers he heard a loud bang on his front door, believed someone was trying to break in, and ran outside with a gun. He then fired multiple rounds at a passing car.
 
Later that same night, police located the three teens whose vehicle showed three bullet holes. They admitted to ringing random doorbells in the neighborhood as a prank when a man with a firearm fired at their car as they drove away.
 
No one was injured, but Wolfe was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
 
Frisco Police Chief David Shilson warned that both the prank and Wolfe's response could have ended in tragedy.

It's a dangerous prank. Luckily no one was hurt. But now this man who was just minding his own business is now facing probably jail time. Very unfortunate.

@Jjj: Wow! Younger kids use to play this in our old neighborhood all the time and it was just innocent fun and when my door got it I would open and look around and those kids would just laugh and was funny to them. These kids weren't old enough to drive and everyone pretty much knew them anyway. It's a shame and kind of scary this happened around here. You just never know!

@Tamara : That was the original Ding-Dong-Ditch. The version that has become the "Tik-Tok challenge" involved kicking the door violently.

@Texasgal @Tamara :
Parents need to be on top of the trends in social media and talk to their kids before they act on the challenges with malicious intent.

@KiNg: Agree. We don’t TikTok and a by suggestion most social media is limited. Just makes sense. We do not live in a perfect world by any means and half of that is already broken. So sad!!!!!
