A Colorado single mom who managed to beat cancer four times was killed when a stranger who claimed he was just cleaning his gun fired bullets into her home, cops said.

Jennifer James, 49, was fatally shot when 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku allegedly opened fire from his car while parked outside the victim’s house in Berthoud, north of Denver, on April 28.

The gunman told police that he accidentally shot at the home with his Glock 22 handgun — and then fired again when he was trying to clear the chamber, KDVR reported, citing a police affidavit.

Her alleged killer was nabbed after cops used surveillance footage and license plate reader data to track him down.


So he rushed into the building to see if he had harmed anyone after accidentally discharging his weapon. No the cowardly POS took off.

“””The gunman told police that he accidentally shot at the home with his Glock 22 handgun — and then fired again when he was trying to clear the chamber, KDVR reported, citing a police affidavit.”””


At least this is one of the most creative excuses I have heard.

He’s a stupid Dope, who can’t handle a gun, and a coward with no respect for other folk’s lives.

Re: deporting after execution.

Fling his carcass over the embassy gate and let them deal with it.

Let the poor lady's family sit in a room next to his prison cell and "clean their guns."

Killed? Actually killed as in dead, not badly wounded? By a 22 pistol from across a yard away?

“ Worku was charged with first-degree murder. He was booked into the Larimer County Jail and was being held on a $1.25 million cash-only bond.”

How refreshing… a judge with common sense.

He’s 20 yrs old. In Michigan to purchase a pistol from a dealer or show, you mace to be 21 (18 for a long gun rifle or shotgun) and first obtain a pistol purchase permit from your local police, purchase permit good for 30 or 60 days, can’t recall.
Is there sone question mentioned here as to whether this was legally his gun even?

The Glock 22 is .40 Caliber S&W. It will kind of kill the hell out of you. I could maybe from 25 yards, but then I don’t have much use for handguns. I know folks at the range who train exclusively with them. Rifles at range are more my thing.
