A New Zealand man was shot outside of this home in Goochland County, VA after attempting to visit with a teen girl he met online. Apparently, the teen’s mom was upset about it, or that’s the impression you get from the headline:

What the headline doesn’t say is that our Romeo also brought a “brick, a knife, pepper spray, and some duct tape” and was shot while breaking into the home to visit the 14-year-old girl:

His real name is Troy George Skinner, age 25:

The intruder actually threw a brick through the window before getting shot:

Skinner is expected to survive:

Sheriff says Skinner will survive. There is a deputy at his room. Has not been formally charged, and he has refused to speak to investigators. @CBS6

And the FBI is pursing federal charges at this point:

Sheriff says man is still in hospital. He is not the victim. Says the family are the victims. FBI says they will pursue federal charges related to this man. @CBS6
