A 14-year-old African-American boy stopped to ask for directions to school in a Detroit suburb but was shot at instead, according to prosecutors.
Retired firefighter Jeffery Zeigler, 53, who is white, was arraigned on Friday "on assault with intent to murder and felony firearm" charges, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

"There's a lot more to the story than what's being told and I believe that will come out in court," Zeigler told Judge Julie Nicholson via video link from the county jail Friday, the AP reports. "I was in bed yesterday morning and my wife came screaming and crying. ..."
The judge then interrupted and stopped Zeigler from talking.
Prosecutors reportedly said video from Zeigler's home security system backs up the teenager's story of what happened. They also showed video to Brennan"s mother, Lisa Wright.
