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.

    Then perhaps we should not let those people possess guns. Or vehicles , now that I think of it.

    Perhaps give them no weapons. Yes, yes, that’s it. Take weapons away from crazy people. Hey! I got it! Let’s get them into a database so we can see if they have murderous tendencies. Perhaps a test of some sort in order to own any weapons.

    What do you think?
