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.
There’s a bullet hole in the flashing under my second floor gutters, facing the street. Doesn’t look like it came from nearby, like it’s not slanted down toward the street or anything. No idea how long it’s been there, but I found it a few years ago when cleaning the gutters. Bullet might still be lodged in there.
It’s genuinely wild to me that people just fire this shit off willy-nilly.
Coworker of mine was shot through her apartment floor (accidental discharge). She almost died.
My wife worked with someone that didn’t know that bullets come down after you shoot them in the air. People are fucking stupid.
It’s genuinely wild to me that Americans let just anyone have the capability to do that.
I agree, frankly. I am expert qualified (former military), and inherited firearms when my mom died. I don’t have any firearms currently, as I sold those off (very very old farm weapons; we were on a farmette) nor do I ever intend to get more. All that training, and I’m still not comfortable owning something that is designed specifically to kill something.
That is to say you can hypothetically do nothing, and still end up with firearms, which is a really big problem. Zero background check on inheritance…
If you aren’t absolutely chicken shit it isn’t a problem. Idk I think u should have to get a licence to own a firearm, maybe if you can’t figure out bullet-go-far you can’t fucking own a gun
The guy from this post clearly wasn’t chicken-shit about guns.
While in military school after boot camp, I was stuck in the barracks because our Chief was extremely strict about letting us use our evening time how we’d like. While mopping the same spot for the 4th hour, I get a call from my wife advising that she’s really scared. A gun had just discharged from the neighbors house, went through our wall, got lodged in our dresser about 2” from my 1.5 year old daughter’s leg. I went to my chief and other instructors, asking to be let out so I can comfort my family. They said no, there’s nothing I can do if I leave and my family can drive to a motel if they feel unsafe.
You’re expecting military people not to be insane about guns?
Honestly, I know you’re making a joke but I habe 17 years in Enlisted and if a troop came to me with this story and said “My family is scared” Id be like “Yeah that makes sense go the fuck home”.
Maybe those people fell off of the apathy tree.
