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.
A “backstop” is not a shooting range…
It’s usually just a pile of dirt.
It’s wild for a bunch of people in a neighborhood to all be doing this, because even if the first couple are kind of safe about it, every idiot starts thinking jt’s safe to just shoot at a can or anything. All they know is they hear gunshots
My parents have a place to shoot in their yard. It’s a stack of old railroad ties four deep, two wide and ten tall with dirt piled up around the back. There is an empty field for over a mile behind that. I can’t imagine using it if anyone was any closer.
Sounds like a terrible neighbourhood to live in, shots going off from everyone all the time
I used to play a game with friends in Tacoma, WA, USA where we would sit outside at night and guess what the caliber was when we heard gunfire every 5 or so minutes.
I’m picturing celebratory gunfire into the air every weekend.
Rent must be hella cheap
