You watch too many movies.

No, I read too many state statutes. The kid was disobeying a lawful order to stay inside for a curfew, and he was too young to legally carry a rifle. those two facts reduce the level of self-defense that Wisconsin law permits him to exercise.

That's evil.

I already commented on the poor guy in the hat.  If they figure out who pulled the trigger, I hope they get the death penalty  - unless there's some mitigating circumstance we don't know about at the moment.
