Her name hasn't been released.

Tragicomic maybe, or comedotragic. Had the cannon not hurt anything other than property, there would still be people up in arms about what it might have done.

Is this domestic violence?

Domestic artillery prep, I guess.

Well, if you’re going to do domestic violence, you might as well be violent about it.

They say, always keep a gun pointed in a safe direction until you’re ready to shoot. Why does this not go for a cannon?

Would that be considered a design flaw or a launch flaw?

Operator error?
