Brennan Walker, 14, told WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) that he missed the bus and attempted to walk about 4 miles from his home to Rochester High School.
He knocked on the door of a home on South Christian Hills Drive and a woman answered.
Oakland County sheriff's deputies were called to Zeigler's Rochester Hills' home about 8:20 a.m. Thursday after a woman told 911 that her husband had chased a black male who tried to break in. "When I heard her say that, it was like, but it is (what it looks like)".
Walker told Fox 2 that a man then came to the door, grabbed a gun and opened fire as Walker ran away.
"There is a lot more to the story ad I think that will all come out in court", Zeigler said.
Thankfully, the man missed. "I'm 14; but I don't look 14", Brennan said. He later added that he was happy he didn't "become a statistic".
FOX 2: "Your son nearly became a hashtag".
"I feel like, wow".
He said he had missed the bus and didn't have his mobile phone so was struggling to find his way. She called her husband, who had a shotgun, to the door. She dropped everything and immediately went to the substation to be with her son.
Investigators told her the family's Ring doorbell recorded the encounter. His story was not borne out by the video, she said.
