“Try shooting repeatedly through a bathroom door behind which is a screaming woman...”
If someone was shooting at me in the bathroom, you’d be hard pressed to tell me from a screaming woman.
Seriously, I want to believe that he just made a dumbass mistake. South Africa is a dangerous place, houses get broken into and occupants killed all the time.
In the same circumstances, same fear of a real danger of violent home invasions, if you woke to what you thought was a sound of an intruder in the night, and you had someone like this beautiful woman sharing your bed, what would be your first thought as to who to protect? For me, shooting through a bathroom door and not considering her absence from the bed is a poor deflection of culpability and outright admission of a dereliction of duty, at best, murder at worst.
