Are we sure it was a mistake? The husband may have to wonder about that for years, and will be more likely to do his chores.
“”She reasonably believed there was an intruder.””
hmmm. Alarm sounds, husband not in bed, shoot through closed door. more to the story.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Shot in the chest with no serious injury. .22?
He thought she was lazy for sleeping in, and figured the alarm would wake her up? Otherwise, he would have stopped and shut it off before it went off, or at least before he went upstairs.
Perhaps he (and the cops) is more gullible than I am.
I said No Sprinkles.
For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you.
You NEVER fire through a closed door!
Wondering if she’d been following that story about that guy who shot his gf through the bathroom door ...
Shooting through the door? Isn’t that from the Joe Biden School of Defensive Firearms Use?
Contrast that with George Zimmerman reasonably believing Trayvon Martin was trying to murder him because he was sitting on top of him and bashing his head into the concrete sidewalk while telling him he was going to kill him.
See why understanding law is so hard? It's these slender threads of almost indistinguishable differences between virtually identical cases that are so hard to detect.
In before the “She used a bigger gun” or “Needs more time at the range” FReeper knee-jerk posts.
Soldier, Ft. Bragg trying to surprise his wife who apparenlty had thought he
had left for work. What I don’t understand is why he didn’t disable the alarm
system when he returned.
Left 4 Dead: “you startled the witch!”
I have those door alarms. If one goes off the first thing I do is check to see if my wife is in bed because she is always forgetting about them. If my wife is in bed I get the gun and move myself and my wife into a safe location where I can see the bedroom door. We have told my daughter to call ahead if she was coming over but I would not bet her life on her failure to do so. I’m then yelling that whoever is out there better identify themselves immediately.
Through the door? Looks like she took Biden’s advice and I’d call that reckless.
I wonder if she should be charged.
That was pretty dammed reckless, IMO. I can’t think of many circumstances when it’s a good idea to blindly fire through a door at an unknown target. The woman must be dumb as a fence post.
It could have been a bad argument, but they experienced a pancake makeup...
Ok, I’m a novice shooter, but I know better than to shoot through a door.
