Teen shot by homeowner after targeting Maine house in ding-dong-ditch prank: authorities

A teen was shot and wounded after a group of pals pulled a prank on a gun-toting Maine homeowner pre-dawn Saturday, according to authorities.

Vincent Martin, 30, allegedly opened fire on the teens after they targeted his house in a game of ding-dong-ditch, at around 1 a.m., the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said, according to reports.

After the teens knocked on the door of his Waterford Road house and fled, Martin opened the door and rattled off several shots, striking one of the pranksters in the right calf, the sheriff’s office said, according to News Center Maine.
