PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A white retired firefighter is expected to be sentenced for shooting at a black teenager who came to his suburban Detroit home for directions.

Jeffrey Zeigler is due Tuesday morning in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac. A jury convicted him last month of assault and a gun crime.

Fourteen-year-old Brennan Walker told police he missed a school bus on April 12 and knocked on Zeigler’s door in Rochester Hills after getting lost while walking. The teen says he ran after seeing a man inside the house grab a gun.

The 53-year-old Zeigler has said he woke up to his wife’s screams and that she believed someone was trying to break into their home.

1. Lock up the racist ass. His wife needs psychological counseling because she's an idiot.

Why would she be screaming about a black teenager knocking on their door, that's just ludicrous. Or maybe the white guy is just lying? Either way, he definitely should be in jail and for awhile. If he works for someone, he should be fired, if he's self-employed, his customers should immediately cancel anything he's scheduled to do. He's a menace to society and needs to be locked up and shunned.
