You don't shoot through a door. Period. Especially if you have not identified your target or what is behind it.

Yes. Years ago we had a family emergency and our home phone was having issues so a family member drove over to notify us. He had a key but did not enter the house. He beat on my bedroom window and then ran back into the yard. When I turned on the outside light, his first words were "Don't shoot! It's me!" He knew how to properly get in touch with me in the middle of the night.
The article said it was her home so, yes, she likely lived there. I cannot fathom why the father would shoot through the door.

23 year old woman shot and killed by her father who mistook her for intruder
This kind of gun-uupsie happened to that South African Olympic runner too when he killed his wife through the door.

He is doing prison time so sounds like it was intentional.

Shot through the door. What a moron. As much as I support the 2A and the right to self defense I have to say there are some people who have no business having a firearm. It's really hard to weed them all out though. Some you can spot a mile away. Others not so much.


This cretin obviously had no business with a firearm. You NEVER fire blindly like that. But it happens. "Hunters" who shoot into the brush because it was moving is a biggy. The brush is twitching, must be a deer right? . In this case the door is rattling. Must be some goblin trying to get in.


Gotta wonder if this clown wasn't expecting unwanted company.

Bingo. At the very least, you yell at them asking who they are. If he had even done that, she'd likely be alive now.

He should be charged with manslaughter at a minimum.

the shooter was most probably in panic mode and therefore NOT in complete control of himself...AND i just LOVE hearing all the armchair gun people who were NOT in the situation lecture about responsible gun safety and such..


as far as i know many many gun deaths happen in EXTREME moments of emotionally charged rage or uncertainty at the least...it would be nice if we were all level headed...but then such is the mystic of the gun
