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.
If only that baby were armed, it could have returned fire and everything would have been okay. More guns is the solution!
Pretty sure this patriot was just trying to stop the baby skull biker gang from raping our churches and burning our children.
Really highlights the danger of guns. Bullet missed the ground and kept going .3 miles pass his target hitting a random person.
Just gonna politely point out that America is living under extreme corruption and tyranny right now, and the 2nd amendment aint doing shit to help with that problem. Sure gets of innocent citizens killed, though.
Just like any expected conflict ever, the 2nd amendment caused an arms race - and the govt is far, far more heavily armed than the people.
Who is protecting your democracy?
Well obviously Dale, the overweight guy who wants nothing more than owing guns and Nazis memorabilia
System works as designed. The second amendment fuckwits never cared about freedom and democracy at all.
its usually the people on the right that are touting the 2nd admen, and they are okay with the faciscm.
Oh there are plenty of lefty gun-brains, preparing for either the revolution or wanting to protect against a fascist government.
They’re all gravely mistaken when they think that gun ownership does anything except increasing statistics for gun deaths and police shootings.
Law enforcement investigating the shooting canvassed several residences to the north of the deadly shooting and found that all but one – Adams’ – had “suitable shooting backstops or firing locations,” according to the affidavit.
So… pretty much everyone in the area had a shooting range except the accused?
Yeah, this happened literally 4 houses down from me. We all shoot guns, but we have targets, and those that dont go down to the bridge and fire into the creek bank. This whole thing is because he was lazy/stupid.
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
This is Oklahoma.
Exactly. Why didn’t he have a shooting range too?
Apparently he did, just lacking the important part of a fucking backstop.
infamous for the bombing incident.
And this is why we shouldn’t just let every fuckhead idiot have a gun.
Exactly! I don’t want to take away your guns. I want fuckheads like these to not be able to buy them in the first place.
Gun ownership should come with a psych test and some kind of basic system for ensuring people understand the gravity of the device they are purchasing at minimum. As it stands, I can walk into a pawn shop a few blocks away and have a weapon in almost no time, and I’m all kinds of fucked up.
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.
Is it just a given that if a man’s middle name is “Wayne” he’s going to jail at some point?
My middle name is Wayne…

There’s gotta be a name for the look where a physically unfit/poor performing American tries to offset this by donning physically “tough” fashion accessories and hair dos.
I know there’s gravy seals, but they kind of take it to the next level.
This, it’s more like a defence mechanism. Like they’d totally get their ass kicked in literally anything—fighting, jogging, getting up out of a chair—but they keep themselves safe by dressing up and casting tough stares.
exercise would likely cause a cardiac arrest.
Geez, if he’d lived any closer it would have gone through her and into the baby as well. Although she probably dropped the baby in any case.
i dont expect anything less.
