I am not justifying the guy's actions in any way, but the article says the teens hopped the fence and walked around the property looking for the homeowner. I can certainly understand why the woman would feel threatened. It's not an excuse for anybody to just start shooting, but this feels like an extremely dumb decision on the boys' part.
You didnt finish the article. It says it was an accidental discharge.
yes, taking out your locked and loaded pistol, pointing it at someone with your finger on the trigger and it going off, in your mind, is an accidental discharge
Apparently its called negligent discharge now as ive learned but yes. If you don't intend to shoot and you shoot, thats what it is.
He should still be charged for that and have to pay for damages and such, but its different than murderous councilman attempts to give teen facelift.
