He shot warning shots, which means that he did not intend to harm anyone
__________
read the article more closely. At the link, not the excerpted portion.
From the article: “He went to the bedroom and fired “warning shots up high.” He then fired shots toward the bottom of the door.”
The first 2 shots were warning shots. That claim is not made for the last 2 shots.
But I’m with you. Drop the terrorism charge, and make it attempted 2nd degree murder and put the nutbag away for the maximum. Try to remember that the daughter was behind the door, as well as the guy.
There's the rub... because Reed couldn't see who, if anyone, he would hit with his shots, an Attempted Murder charge might make it tough to get a conviction.
