Gary boy shot multiple times for laughing

A man allegedly shot and killed a 13-year-old because he laughed at him.

The suspect returned home to find his house had been burglarized and, when a crowd formed, the boy began to laugh.

The suspect allegedly opened fire and shot the boy nine times in front of witnesses.

"A neighbor was irate about his house being burglarized and he said that my grandson was laughing at him, so he shot him. He said he shot him nine times. And they said they arrested the neighbor, he's under arrest, but they haven't charged him yet, so we're trying to figure out why they haven't charged him yet, " said Elvin Taylor, the victim's grandfather.

The suspect and a woman that also lives at the home that was burglarized were both taken into police custody.
