"I walked out past my truck, and I saw a teenaged boy come out of that trailer next door screaming all hysterical," said Joe Vanhouten, who lives next door and said he woke up to gunshots.

Vanhouten said he knows the teen charged with manslaughter and tells FOX 35 News he thinks Vining was a good kid.

"What I know of him, I mean, I guess you’d say a typical teenager," Vanhouten said. "I know they don’t really realize the consequences of some of the stuff they do."

Whitler, who was initially interviewed as a witness to the shooting, allegedly misled officials with inaccurate information about what took place and who shot Broad.
