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.

    I’ve never heard of this issue. I know of at least 3 in my area that I could walk in, give them my id, fill out a small piece of paper and rent a gun and buy ammo to shoot there right there and then. I’ve even brought my Canadian in laws. They were able to shoot with just their passports. Rural ish PA btw
