An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.

Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.

The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.

    Gun rights, keeping people safe since… Never.

    And keeping tyrants who abuse the constitution in check since… Also never.

      These types of news articles always have me chuckling. And feeling bad for the victim(s). But chuckling at how stupid we are. Collectively.
