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.
Exactly. Why didn’t he have a shooting range too?
Apparently he did, just lacking the important part of a fucking backstop.
Backstop is not sufficient. You will miss it eventually. Should be a backstop and no one living behind it
Honestly anything less than a 15’ berm or reinforced wall should not be a permissible firing location in a residential area. And I still wouldn’t put it past people to miss.
Not that we really need personal firing ranges in everyone’s backyard.
Ricochets and unintended discharges happen at ranges all the time.
