Yes, that is absolutely insane, I agree, and I am not trying to justify his actions. I just wanted to point out that it’s not like some kids walked up to the door and got shot they were in fact trespassing, so the headline is a bit misleading.
When there’s a fence, you don’t know the owner? Yes, absolutely. First of all, you don’t know what’s on the property. Lifestock can get spooked. There could be livestock guardian dogs. You could get shot. At the end of the day you don’t look any different from a thied / burglar trying to get into the house.

By that logic the postman, politicians canvassing, the neighbour’s child who lost their ball, are all trespassing.
If someone doesn’t want you on their property, then yes. Hopping a fence is already pretty much blatant trespassing.
Hey man just never cross any property lines without permission for your sake

The distinction being that the postman or politician isn’t going to hop a fence.
Dumb? Maybe, but these were teens. Dumb is obligatory. Misleading headline? No.
