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.
Glad to know I can do anything and just say "oopsie" afterwards and you'll be there to back me up.
Funny how you think I'm excusing it. Intent changes things, but only slightly.
Is it just that the nuance of things is scary to think about? That things might not be as easy and simple as going with your gut reaction?
