As the Sheriff in charge Jeffrey Murphy said Monday (local time), the youths got lost and soon realized they had chosen the wrong driveway. At that moment, a man came out of the house and fired two shots at the car. The woman was fatally injured.
The alleged perpetrator, a 65-year-old, has been arrested and must now answer for manslaughter, among other things, according to Murphy. “It’s a very sad case.”
Murphy told CNN on Tuesday that the man had not cooperated with police and showed no remorse. “He was not threatened in any way,” said the policeman. The group had no contact with the resident and was about to drive away. It’s a pointless tragedy.
A similar case recently sparked outrage in Missouri, where a teenager was shot and injured by a homeowner after entering the wrong way through the front door. According to American media, the 16-year-old wanted to pick up his siblings in Kansas City, but accidentally knocked on the wrong door. The homeowner then shot and killed the black young man. The boy survived. The alleged perpetrator was charged with aggravated assault.
The United States has long experienced levels of gun violence that are hard to comprehend. (sda/dpa)
