"I think the concept of 'ding dong ditch' has been around pretty much since the invention of the door and since teenagers have been in existence," KOMO quotes a spokesperson for the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office as saying.
"Obviously they don't normally end with this sort of violent incident." Authorities say two 14-year-old boys in Washington state were arrested late Thursday after a game of ding dong ditch went awry and ended with the stabbing of a 47-year-old man.
