An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.
Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.
The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.
In civilized parts of the world, it is illegal to discharge a firearm in an urban area or within X metres of an occupied building etc.
In the USA people shoot in their suburban backyard.
For what it’s worth, it’s illegal in the USA too. Obviously that didn’t stop this moron.
I can’t think of a place I’ve lived where discharge of firearms within city limits was not illegal. This moron probably didn’t care.
Well there’s the problem: Americans don’t understand meters.
This sounds like it might be a more rural area since other neighbors seem to have backstops which isn’t illegal.
