She missed, and instead shot D'evan McFall. He was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.
he 14-year-old ran away to a neighboring housing complex, but was seen running away and was arrested, ABC News reported, and has been charged.

Read the article. It says she is charged wuth murder as dies the Dfw channek 4 link in thread.
“This isn’t murder.
I seriously doubt it’s been charged that way.”
Murder is what is being reported.
The legal doctrine is "transferred intent"; still charged as murder.
“It looks like you forgot the apostrophe.”
Not required.
Shithead
Not Irish?
Scottish?
I can’t keep that Mc stuff straight.
Amish girls with guns?
I still don’t like that appellation. That belongs for Moslems.
I just tend to call them “demographic”.
the RATS will all whine her brain isn’t fully developed yet and dint know the severity of her actions... now let her have her sexchange
Except it might be 3rd deg/manslaughter or whatever they’re calling it these days.
“Except it might be 3rd deg/manslaughter or whatever they’re calling it these days.”
What they are calling it is murder.
He said they did not suspect gang activity, but it was ‘a
beef between two juveniles that led to a deadly outcome’.

Back in my day it wasn’t unusual to see a rifle or shotgun
in the back window of a pick up truck. Schools out and a
hunting we would go.
if you missed your target
and hit someone else by mistake
how can that be “intentional” murder?
On it’s face, it would be un-intentional to kill that person.
A clever prosecutor might charge this under the Felony Murder statute:
The perpetrator was committing aggravated assault, using a weapon, against another person.
A third person was killed as a result of the felony.
In most States, that’s prosecutable as murder.
“She missed, and instead shot D’evan McFall.”
Sounds like D’even took ‘a fall’.
“Remove them from the national crime statistics and see what’s left. G-d damn the slavers and their cotton.”
I hear you, but Europe never had them, but that didn’t stop Europe from committing genocidal suicide.
Not feeling well. Misread a word.
