Early Sunday, the sensors went off, and Kaarma and Pflager looked at the video feed and saw that someone was in the garage.
Kaarma went outside with his shotgun. He told investigators he heard a noise that sounded ‘like metal on metal,’ and he was afraid the intruder would come out and hurt him. He said he did not see anyone in the darkened garage and did not communicate with anyone before sweeping the garage with four shotgun blasts. Dede was struck in the head and arm and died at a Missoula hospital, court records said.
Kaarma told police he fired high to avoid hitting the car in the garage - but court records showed that three of four shots were aimed low.
Ironic that the shooter’s name was “Kaarma”...as in entering the garage was bad “karma”!
“Kaarma told police he fired high to avoid hitting the car in the garage - but court records showed that three of four shots were aimed low.”
Well, I guess he knew where the car was so he knew where he could aim high/low and be safe. Too bad the dumbass kid was inside up to no good.
