A Massachusettes man was charged with murder after he shot and killed a 15-year-old boy who was trying to force his way inside the man’s Chicopee, Massachusetts, home Saturday afternoon.

Jeffery Lovell, 42, called the police to report what he believed was a break-in in progress just before 1 p.m. According to reports from the Chicopee Police Department, three teens went to Lovell’s home and began banging on the front door repeatedly. Lovell said he attempted to communicate with the youths through the door, but was unsuccessful.

As the banging continued, Lovell believed the teens were trying to break in, so he called the police and retrieved a firearm. But before the responding officers arrived on the scene, one of the teens struck the door with enough force that it broke a window pane within the door. At that point, more convinced the teens were trying to force their way into his home, Lovell fired a single shot, striking one of the youths.

When police arrived a short time later, they found the injured teen lying on the ground outside of the home. He was suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen and was transported to a local hospital, where he died. He was later identified as 15-year-old Dylan Francisco.

Investigators later learned that Francisco and the other teens had been drinking at a friend’s home nearby and began walking through the neighborhood when they mistook Lovell’s home for someone else’s.

Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni called the incident “unfortunate,” but nonetheless determined Lovell’s actions warranted a murder charge.

“This was a tragic and avoidable incident that resulted in a young man losing his life,” Gulluni said in a statement.

Although there is no duty to retreat in the state of Massachusetts, the law clearly states that in order for deadly force to be deemed justifiable, the suspect must be inside the dwelling and the occupant of the home must have a “reasonable belief that the person unlawfully in said dwelling was about to inflict great bodily injury or death.”

Lovell is currently being held without bail.

      MASSIVE FALSE FLAG CYBER ATTACK TO COVER UP COLLAPSE OF FIAT DOLLAR.

      ENDGAME DECODED:
      7/21/16: ORDO AB CHAO
      7/21/16=7/777/7=(7 5′s)=35=8
      •2+0+16=18=”666″& 9 =”CHAOS”
      •(21)=”777″ number of destruction & deception.
      •777+666=1443=12=3

      MDCCLXXVI DECODED:
      MDC=1600, CLX=160, XVI=16;
      •The 16′s above added & multiplied together =”777″ & “666″.
      •777+666=1443=12=3
      •1+7+7+6=21=3 &”777″

      “1776 is the Beginning year in which man is placed above God through exceeding sinfulness of sin.” -Illuminati

      “777″ is important b/c the Antichrist will use this number to deceive nonbelievers into thinking he is the messiah.

      Seven is also used w/ respect to judgment from the book of Revelation. The sequence of the 7 seals, the 7 trumps and the 7 bowl judgments.

      “3″ representing the Holy Trinity. Number 3 associated w/ the triangle by its geometrical form & perceived as the Eye of God in the center of pyramid on the fiat dollar.

      These luciferian psychopaths make a mockery of everything. The world is their STAGE. They’re “Free” & we’re their “Mason’s”.

      Revelation 13:18; “Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

      Gematria value for Speaker of The House ‘Paul Ryan’ adds up to “36″. “666″ is the sum of the first 36 natural numbers.

      “666″ is a number key Jesus himself gave us to help reveal this future deceiver of the world. Its recorded in Revelation 13:16-18.

      God is not human, so he does not lie. Also, no number is assigned to the Lord Almighty.

      ‘The Great Tribulation’ is unfolding right on schedule. This 3 1/2 years will begin in summer as Christ noted;

      “”When the fig tree puts forth its leaves, we know summer, and therefore the end of this age, is near.

      And we know that Trumpets, heralding the coming of Christ, occurs at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.”"

      Initially, I was wrong & misinterpreted scripture. Fig trees bud during the summer in June & July, not the spring.

      Matthew 24:32;
      “Learn a parable of the fig tree. When its branches bud & leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.”

      The “FIG TREE SIGN” is the best indicator that (Yahweh) Christ’s return is not far away.

      “Michael told Daniel that it would last….1230 days. John heard the angel say also “3 1/2 years” (“a time”: 1 year, “times”: 2 years, and “half a time”: 6 months).”

      The exact day our ‘Lord & Savior’ returns is unknown.

      Matthew 24:42;
      “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”

      The Force Has Awaken. America Is Mystery Babylon The Great.

      Matthew 24:37;
      “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
