How could a 5-year-old girl wanting to be with mommy and daddy possibly simulate somebody trying to break in? Wouldn't people with half a brain expect a little girl coming in, before assuming a burglar?
This idiot needs to do some cell time - not confirming your target when you know there are family members in the house is beyond stupid.
This was a murder to cover up something.
Unless the family are all midgets, you don't shoot knee high at a burgler!
I agree. Some kind of stupid going on here. When you have small kids in the house hearing noises would make them come to mind before a burgler. Wonder if this guy thinks someone is after him? Pool little girl.
I agree. This guy should be arrested. Being stupid doesn't negate a crime. Neither does being sorry.
That's what I thought. I don't like this story. I'm a bit skeptical.
It's not ringing true to me. As I commented earlier, the chest of a 5 year old is nowhere near adult level. Where was this guy intending to shoot this intruder?
Exactly. This plus the fact that he hit a 5 year old girl in the chest (which is about 24 inches off the ground) makes me suspicious of the shooter's story. Why was he aiming 24 inches off the ground to stop an intruder he could not as yet see?
People do strange things when still shaking the cobwebs out after waking up, and not yet in a full state of conciousness.
